Website management software firm Elevated X has announced a comprehensive software update in response to Twitter's recent policy change on April 6, 2023.
Twitter, under Elon Musk, has quietly rolled back its policy on deadnaming and misgendering trans people. Deadnaming is the process of referring to a person by the name they used before they transitioned. This is harmful as it encourages hate against the community and can contribute to mental health conditions, such as depression and suicidality
The state-funded media giant itself said it had no qualms about the recent labeling, but voiced concerns about changes on Twitter since the takeover by Elon Musk.
Twitter has claimed that hate speech on the platform is down more than 50 per cent since Elon Musk took over in October. But experts say the platform has seen an increase in antisemitic tweets as well as slurs against gay and trans persons
