The use of social media is getting more and more common day by day, which leads to discussion of the accuracy of the information shared on the platforms and the attitudes of people. A new study reveals that social media platforms have begun to remain silent in the face of Islamophobic posts.
Digital Anti-Hate Center (CCDH), which is a non-profit organization, conducted a remarkable research on social media posts. In the researches, especially the hate content was focused on. The result was quite remarkable. So much so that the administrators of social media platforms do almost nothing against islamophobic posts…
Only 1 out of 10 islamophobic posts are dealt with
by CCDH According to the research, action is taken for only 1 of 10 Islamophobic posts shared on social media. Imran Ahmed, the founder of the group, states that this is a very disturbing situation. Speaking about the posts, Ahmed states that the mosque attack in New Zealand in recent years is glorified in some groups even today. However, the Islamophobic posts that continue to circulate on social media generally consist of very dangerous conspiracy theories and extreme hate-focused content.
Imran Ahmed says that despite the research they have done, they have not received an effective response from social media platforms. Talking about meeting with platforms such as Twitter and YouTube, the CCDH founder states that they receive mostly evasive answers. On the other hand, Imran Ahmed states that only the form of hatred has changed, that there are Islamophobic articles on Twitter and videos on YouTube. So how will this problem be solved? That’s what nobody knows…
