Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>One of Twitter\u2019s most important charity partners says it is considering ending its relationship with the platform because of recent policy changes. Anti-Defamation League (ADL) says Elon Musk\u2019s surprise move to reinstate former President Donald Trump\u2019s account is \u201cdangerous and inconsistent\u201d.<\/p>\n

It also says allowing Kayne West back on Twitter has \u201craised concerns\u201d. This comes as one of Twitter\u2019s major advertising partners expresses doubts about its future with Twitter.<\/p>\n

Twitter did not respond to requests for comment but on its advertising website, the company says it has \u201clong-standing fruitful relationships with key civil rights groups and organizations, including NAACP, ADColor, and the Anti-Defamation League\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to ADL Mr Musk met the civil rights group on 1 November to assure them that no one previously banned would be reinstated until he had installed a transparent, clear process that took into consideration the views of civil society.<\/p>\n

But \u201cMr Musk\u2019s decisions over the last month have raised serious concerns\u201d, said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of ADL. On Saturday Mr Musk, who purchased Twitter for $44bn last month, ran a poll on his Twitter asking users whether or not Donald Trump should be allowed back on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump\u2019s account was suspended in 2021 because of the risk of incitement to violence. The poll, which registered more than 15m votes, narrowly supported the move 52% to 48%.<\/p>\n

Mr Musk tweeted \u201cthe people have spoken\u201d and reinstated the account which has yet to make any posts. \u201cThis decision is dangerous and inconsistent with what Musk previously had indicated to our group.<\/p>\n

It forces us to wonder whether he is serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and disinformation,\u201d Mr Greenblatt said. Rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) was banned for an antisemitic post in October 2022 but began tweeting again on Sunday to his 32m followers.<\/p>\n

NAACP, another civil rights organisation cited as a major Twitter partner, is calling for advertisers to boycott the site. On Sunday Derrick Johnson, president of NAACP, tweeted that \u201cany advertiser still funding Twitter should immediately pause all advertising now\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that Twitter makes 90% of its money through advertising. Previous reports suggest that some companies and brands have already been pulling ad campaigns in response to the uncertainty since the Musk takeover.<\/p>\n

On Twitter\u2019s \u201cPartnerships that drive industry-wide change\u201d webpage three advertising organisations are listed as major partners. One of them, Brand Safety Institute (BSI), told that Twitter\u2019s reputation for being a \u201ccommendable and reliable partner in the fight for brand safety in the last several years\u201d was under threat.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the BSI said \u201cwe are disheartened by the change in approach that Musk has chosen and we will continue to educate advertisers, and work with platforms, about the choices they have in supporting healthy online experiences for both brands and people\u201d.<\/p>\n

The two other advertising partners for Twitter are 4As and Association of National Advertisers (ANA). ANA says it does not comment on individual business matters. 4As says it is monitoring developments and advising its members accordingly.<\/p>\n

In its statement to the BBC, ADL also says that the sudden drop in staffing levels at Twitter has led to a fall in moderation standards on Twitter. The charity says \u201chate and disinformation have proliferated\u201d.<\/p>\n

The non-profit says its research shows Twitter went from taking action on 60% of antisemitic tweets to taking action on only 30%. However Yoel Roth, the former head of Trust and Safety at Twitter, told the New York Times that moderation at the platform had largely remained the same or increased since the takeover.
\nMr.Musk empowered my team to move more aggressively to remove hate speech across the platform \u2014 censoring more content, not less\u201d he said of his final few days at the company.<\/p>\n
