Twitter introduces new measures to combat hate speech

“Today, we are expanding our (regulation of hateful behavior. -

)

policy

to prohibit the use of language that degrades human dignity based on race, ethnicity or national origin,” the blog said.

The administration of the social network will seek the removal of posts that violate the rules, as well as pay attention to "potentially offensive content."

"If an account repeatedly violates the rules of Twitter, we can temporarily block it or suspend the account," the administration reminded.

In May, US President Donald Trump signed a decree regulating social media.

The document aims to remove protection from content editing claims from social networks.

According to Trump, when social networks start making decisions about the veracity of posts and making changes to them or about blocking them, this, in fact, is a manifestation of editorial policy - in this regard, social networks become a kind of publishers.
