According to a news report, Biden believes that there are no more editors to moderate content and comments on Twitter and therefore highlighted that children will be exposed to a lot of misinformation as they are not yet mature to understand the situation.
President Biden is not the only one concerned about the moderation of content on the social media platform.
Civil Rights groups have also demonstrated that they are bothered by putting pressure on advertisers to make sure that Musk takes appropriate actions toward ensuring the platform is free from hate speech and also void of misinformation.
Musk responded to these concerns on Friday by stating that “nothing has changed with content moderation” contrary to what is being read in the press. He however acknowledged that pressure from activist groups about Twitter’s content filtering had led to a dramatic fall in Twitter’s revenue.
President Biden’s concern about the dissemination of misinformation and the use of harsh language is not simply restricted to Twitter, according to Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, but also extends to other social media platforms which include Facebook.
