This came after GLAAD gave Twitter a Social Media Safety Index score of 33% in 2023 after it evaluated what it called an “alarming and steadily growing epidemic of anti-LGBTQ hate and disinformation” on Twitter. Ellis appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to clarify her comments that the social media platform isTwitter was the only social media network to have a drop in score from the previous year while all other platforms—Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube—failed to even attain a 65% score.
Ellis stated that Twitter’s decision not to penalize users for misgendering other users on its site was mostly to blame for the score drop.believes that there are just not enough content moderators to handle the influx of problematic tweets, which vary from hate speech to explicit material and harassment.On its platform, Twitter says its purpose is to serve the public conversation.
“Our rules are to ensure all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely.” it says., but that “all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.” Musk will continue to be in charge of software development and basic principles once Linda Yaccarino takes over as CEO of Twitter later this month. Until then, Musk will continue to serve as the company’s CEO.
