The World Cup has come as you know, and a scandal is happening on Twitter. Almost 99% of racist Tweets from many accounts on Twitter are not removed intentionally or unintentionally by the platform.
According to the latest reports, racist posts were made against 43 players playing in the World Cup and Twitter did not remove them.
Players are thrown ‘N’ word, monkey emoji and told to be deported
According to reports provided by researchers at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, racist tweets have been sent to several players, including British stars Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka.
99 out of 100 tweets about 43 players who are the target of racist rhetoric are not removed by Twitter. Just last Wednesday, a much-reported Tweet containing 16 racist hate speeches was removed. Others are still available on the platform.
The fact that this event happened after Elon Musk bought Twitter and adopted the ‘free speech’ principle turned the arrows on the well-known billionaire. In addition, due to the numerous employees who left the company after Musk arrived, there may have been difficulties in the control phase. What are you thinking?
