Bloomberg: Elon Musk's Twitter 'roils with hate speech' as a tide of racists memes swells

Davey Alba reports:

In the wake of Elon Musk buying Twitter Inc., a tide of slurs and racist memes swelled on the platform, sparking concern that the site is entering an era of hateful speech.

Twitter has long wrestled with how to enforce content policies fairly on its platform in order to appease the advertisers, users and powerful world leaders that use its service. But as Musk, a self-styled “free speech absolutist,” took over ownership of the company, some conservative officials, partisan extremists and conspiracy peddlers saw reason to celebrate the change.

Dozens of anonymous trolls signed up for Twitter in the past day according to an analysis by Bloomberg, broaching topics that had been heavily moderated by Twitter in the past — such as levying hate speech against protected groups and promoting falsehoods about Covid-19 and its vaccines.

“An analysis by Bloomberg.”

“Rep. Jim Jordan, a Republican of Ohio, also cheered Musk’s takeover of Twitter with a post on Friday morning: ‘Free speech. Liberal tears.’ He gained at least 40,419 followers in the same timeframe, according to Bloomberg’s analysis.” That’s about the only example they give of hate speech.
