Human rights groups are pressing companies to ditch Twitter as hate speech on the platform spikes after Musk's takeover. twitter elonmusk alabamanewsnetwork
The group said Twitter's advertisers"have a moral and civic obligation to take a stand against the degradation of one of the world's most influential communications platforms." They're urging companies to freeze their spending until Musk shows he will enforce measures aimed at preserving the integrity of elections, including investing more in human fact-checkers and moderators.
"We are witnessing the real-time destruction of one of the world's most powerful communications system," said Nicole Gill, co-founder of another activist group, Accountable Tech. The NAACP also said this week it has expressed to Musk its concerns about"the dangerous, life-threatening hate and conspiracies that have proliferated on Twitter" under his watch.
