TEXT 1 HATE SPEECH ONLINE

05-04-2019 07:00

People are unhappy with how Twitter and other social media
companies do nothing when famous people post hate speech
online. Twitter is trying to figure how to flag those tweets instead of
deleting them so that people will still know about them. Twitter

did not follow Twitter’s rules.
Facebook says that it will ban hate speech from white
supremacists early this month.
