This article is extremely misleading. The purportedly "landmark" lawsuit concerns six Tweets, and all of those tweets were actioned, and here's exactly how: — Each of the six Tweets were reported on Twitter, focusing on our terms of service for violations. — Twitter's systems automatically detected that all six Tweets were either toxic or abusive. — Twitter immediately restricted the reach of all six tweets (less than 100 impressions per Tweet). — No person reported any of the Tweets to Twitter under its German legal compliance option. — After the suits were filed, triggering compliance review, four Tweets were blocked in Germany and two were removed for terms of service violations. The article also cites two misleading “reports": — One report claims that Tweets containing anti-Semitic slurs are on the rise on Twitter since its acquisition. The truth is that the number of user impressions of anti-Semitic slurs has gone down since Twitter’s acquisition, both in total and on a per Tweet basis. — The other report claims that Twitter failed to act on 99 percent of hateful content posted by Twitter Blue subscribers. That figure is blatantly false and Twitter makes moderation decisions with no regard for a user's Twitter Blue status.
