摘要:
2022年10月27日,Elon Musk 收购了 Twitter,成为其新任 CEO,并在此过程中解雇了许多高管。Musk 将减少对内容审核的限制以及清除垃圾机器人列为他对该平台的目标之一。鉴于先前关于在线社区中审核与仇恨言论的研究发现,放宽内容审核的承诺引发了人们对 Twitter 上仇恨言论将会增加的担忧。我们考察了 Musk 收购该平台前后仇恨言论的程度和机器人的普遍程度。我们发现,Musk 收购 Twitter 后,仇恨言论急剧增加,大多数类型机器人的普遍程度有所上升,而 astroturf(草根伪装)机器人的普遍程度则有所下降。
英文摘要:
On October 27th, 2022, Elon Musk purchased Twitter, becoming its new CEO and firing many top executives in the process. Musk listed fewer restrictions on content moderation and removal of spam bots among his goals for the platform. Given findings of prior research on moderation and hate speech in online communities, the promise of less strict content moderation poses the concern that hate will rise on Twitter. We examine the levels of hate speech and prevalence of bots before and after Musk's acquisition of the platform. We find that hate speech rose dramatically upon Musk purchasing Twitter and the prevalence of most types of bots increased, while the prevalence of astroturf bots decreased.
