'The latest CCDH research takes the form of a case study looking at growth rates for ten influential accounts which are paying for X Premium and have posted anti-Jewish and/or anti-Muslim hate speech since the Israel-Gaza conflict... The CCDH found these accounts were able to boost their reach on X after posting hateful content targeting the war."
#scientologie#ccdh Régulièrement fois au marché je vois un stand de la « Commission des citoyens pour les droits de l'homme » contre les « violations des droits de l'homme en psychiatrie ».
En fait, ce n'est pas une asso du style Ligue des droits de l'homme, mais une organisation liée à la Scientologie. Bref, mieux vaut vérifier qui est derrière avant de relayer (même pour une cause qui peut sembler juste).
The Center for Countering Digital Hate reports X/Twitter is failing to remove posts that violate its own community rules regarding misinformation, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other hate speech. CCDH study reported 200 “hateful” posts - 98% of the posts remained 7 days later. It’s also worth noting that 43 of the 101 X accounts in the study were "verified"
More than 60 civil society organizations, thought leaders, and academics have signed an open letter expressing concern after lawyers for X Corp., parent company of Twitter, sued the non-profit organization over its reporting of the proliferation of hate and disinformation on the platform under Elon Musk’s leadership.
I'm getting really tired of sites like the #guardian using misleading headlines and people creating discourse based on what is basically misinformation.
The real story here is #ABC would rather censor itself than leave #x
Yep, there is no news item that could not be improved with thought. Deadlines may thwart that.
But I 'm happy that headlines may be teasers but understand you differ.
More importantly, imho, this article did not make the connection with Elon's suit against #CCDH which the ABC action underlines in spades. Also what is the Guardian's policy on using #twitter and, maybe, enquiring whether the #BBC will follow.
"This fight is bigger than #CCDH – it is a line-in-the-sand moment. If we allow ourselves to be strongarmed by #Musk and #X, it will give the green light to every other social media behemoth to do the same to anyone who dares to speak truth to power."
– Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate US/UK
"... activist organizations
masquerading as research agencies, funded and supported by unknown organizations,
individuals and potentially even foreign governments with ties to legacy media companies --
have embarked on a scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform."
Scare campaign, huh. Masquerading! Unknown organizations! Even foreign governments, maybe! And oh no, legacy media companies!
I can see this going either way, especially if there is the merest smidgen of truth in Musk's claim that CCDH's statistical methodology is flawed.
I have no idea if hate speech has increased on Twitter under Musk's control, as these days I hardly ever look at it. Twitter was ever a cesspit of moral and political depravity.
Ein Anwalt, der die Plattform #X vertritt, schrieb am 20. Juli an das Center for Countering Digital Hate (#CCDH) und drohte mit rechtlichen Schritten. In dem Schreiben wird behauptet, dass die Forschungsveröffentlichungen - es geht um Zunahme von Hass und Hetze auf der Plattform - des CCDH darauf abzielten, »dem Geschäft von Twitter zu schaden, indem Werbekunden mit aufrührerischen Behauptungen von der Plattform vertrieben werden«.
The letter cited #research published by #CCDH in June examining #HateSpeech on #Twitter, which #Musk renamed #X. The research consisted of 8 papers, incl’g 1 that found Twitter had taken no action against 99% of the 100 #TwitterBlue accounts the ctr reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both”& said the org had used improper methodology.
The ltr added that the ctr was funded by Twitter’s competitors or foreign govs “in support of an ulterior agenda.”
Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of #CCDH, said, “#ElonMusk’s actions represent a brazen attempt to silence honest #criticism & #independent#research.” He added that #Musk wanted to “stem the tide of negative stories & rebuild his relationship with advertisers.”
The center also said it did “not accept any funding from tech companies, governments, or their affiliates.” (Thank you very much. #MuskLies)
Elon Musk is threatening to sue Center for Countering Digital Hate over their work on tracking hate speech and disinformation on Twitter. Seems free speech only applies to those who say what Musk likes to hear?
New York Times: »X Corp., the parent company of the social media company, sent a letter on July 20 to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that conducts research on social media, accusing the organization of making “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically” and threatening to sue.
The letter cited research published by the Center for Countering Digital Hate in June examining hate speech on Twitter, which Mr. Musk has renamed X.com. The research consisted of eight papers, including one that found that Twitter had taken no action against 99 percent of the 100 Twitter Blue accounts the center reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both” and said the organization had used improper methodology.«
