Black World Cup Stars Are Getting a Barrage of Racist Attacks and Twitter Is Doing Nothing
"Twitter is allowing some of the World Cup’s biggest stars to be targeted by vile racist slurs, and appears to have no intention of removing them.
Researchers have found that racist tweets targeting football phenoms like Marcus Rashford, Gabriel Jesus, Douglas Luiz, Jadon Sancho, Richarlison, Mohamed Salah, and Bukayo Saka have been allowed to remain on the platform despite being reported to Twitter almost a week ago. The accounts that posted them have not been suspended or sanctioned.
Rather than being an oversight on Twitter’s part, leaving the racist tweets up appears to be part of Elon Musk’s new policy on content moderation: instead of getting rid of it, Twitter will now simply sweep it under the rug.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” Musk tweeted just 24 hours before the World Cup kicked off. “Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.”"
