Musk: since taking over Twitter, users have seen a 1/3 reduction in the number of hate speech

CTOnews.com, Nov. 25 (Xinhua)-- Elon Elon Musk tweeted today that users' feelings of hatred towards the social platform have improved since they took over Twitter. Musk said that compared with the initial peak earlier this month, Twitter users saw a 1/3 reduction in the number of hate speech.

CTOnews.com learned that, citing The Independent reports, Musk was following the policy of "freedom of speech, but not free display" (freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach), giving priority to reducing hate speech on the platform.

Musk said he would give people the freedom to speak on Twitter, but if the tweet contained hate speech or harmful content, it would reduce the exposure and fewer people would see it. The new owner of Twitter also said that the initial peak of hate speech was mainly posted by 1500 accounts, which reduced users' impression of hate speech by reducing the coverage of posts.
