Twitter Prohibits Dehumanizing Posts Targeting Race, Ethnicity

Twitter has enacted stricter content rules, adding to its list of prohibited conduct any language that “dehumanizes people on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin.”

The social media company announced the update to its policy on Wednesday.

Twitter said it would remove any offending posts that users report and would also work to detect content that violates its policies. Violators could have their accounts suspended.

“Research shows that dehumanizing speech can lead to real-world harm, and we want to ensure that more people — globally — are protected,” the company said.

The new rules are Twitter’s latest attempt to respond to abusive details ⇒
