Wait, I'm shocked Xitter had numbers as high as 14% when it comes to dealing with hate speech...

Once reported an obvious anti-Semitic post that I found (was curious if they actually would). Took them a week or two but they actually took it down. I was shocked.

One engagement dies down around a post they can take it down and just pretend they’re oh so backlogged to save face.

Everyone saw it already, the damage was done.

Of course, they might actually be backlogged because Musk fired almost everyone who dealt with that stuff. When you hamstring a department, they can quickly fall behind on their work.
