'We hate what you’ve done with the place – especially the hate' Australia tells Twitter
The office of Australia's eSafety Commissioner has issued an official"please explain" to Twitter over its content moderation practices and whether it is enforcing its own policies against hateful conduct.
"eSafety received more complaints about online hate on Twitter in the past 12 months than any other platform and has received an increasing number of reports of serious online abuse since Elon Musk's takeover of the company in October, 2022," states a Thursdayfrom the antipodean regulator, which linked the increased incidence of abuse to Twitter's swingeing sackings.
"Twitter appears to have dropped the ball on tackling hate," remarked eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant."A third of all complaints about online hate reported to us are now happening on Twitter."that her department's polite inquiries to Twitter on the matter produced no response – perhaps because the avian network is believed to have a very modest presence in Australia.The legal notice sent by the eSafety Commissioner therefore represents an escalation.
