German anti-racism body leaves X over βrise in hate speechβ::A German agency that tackles discrimination and racism says it is quitting the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. It cited a rise in hate speech since owner Elon Musk took over last year.
Shouldnβt the anti-racism group, likeβ¦ Fight harder instead of just letting the racists have at it? π€
In what way? Even one of their own people is quoted in the article:
Ataman said FADA could only try to combat the surge in hate comments by channeling more resources to the platform, which could be a questionable use of public money.
Leaving the platform altogether isnβt fighting against the discrimination or misinformation. Theyβre more worried about how their agency would be perceived staying on the platform. This isnβt a statement. Itβs giving up.
