Since Elon Musk's takeover, X has banned nearly three times as many accounts in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, raising concerns about free speech.
X's first transparency report highlights that in the first half of this year, 5.3 million accounts were suspended for abusive behavior, a stark rise from 1.6 million last year.
The report shows that among 224 million user reports, 82 million were related to abuse and harassment, pointing to a significant increase in negative behavior on the platform.
Despite claiming that hate speech constitutes less than 1% of overall posts, X's action to suspend accounts indicates a troubling rise in hateful and abusive content.
