Since Elon Musk has acquired Twitter, there have been some alarming shifts. The Network Contagion Research Institute, which reviews hundreds of millions of social media messages, found that use of the n-word on Twitter increased nearly 500% in the 12-hour period after Musk’s deal was completed, per The Washington Post.

But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF. So many da** unfit people saying hate speech is free speech.”
In his replies, Musk retweeted a claim about bots, which said, “Nearly all of these accounts are inauthentic. We’ve taken action to ban the users involved in this trolling campaign — and are going to continue working to address this in the days to come to make Twitter safe and welcoming for everyone.” In the thread, a previous tweet from Musk stated, “To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies.” He added that a content moderation council will be created to address content decisions and account reinstatements.
