Digital Regulation


The US Law Section 230 (1996) mandates that the social media platform is not held responsible for whatever content is uploaded and gives them the responsibility to self regulate. Platforms like Twitter have their own teams of checkers who manage problematic content after they are posted for the world to see, they do not always directly delete something but instead would limit its visibility or add a label informing that it may be misleading, in extreme cases they will hide a violating post or require the user to remove the tweet before giving them the permission to tweet again of course doing so while considering the right of free speech. Such regulations have the advantage of shielding viewers from harmful content which can cause them to replicate such actions or receive radicalizing dogma especially if they are underage, others might see less offensive content that target their creed.

One such case was one of Kanye West that was Anti-semitic in nature meaning it targeted Jewish people with a threat to harm them while perpetuating the stereotype that they have an "agenda" often related to world domination or control of the media



In Kanye West's case Twitter directly suspended his account a few hours his racist tweet and is still suspended since 2nd December 2022, Elon Musk Twitter's new CEO announced that Kanye was blocked for having breaching Twitter's guideline by having a post that "incites violence", though many have contributed Twitter's choice to ban Kanye with hyping up the news and allowing it to spread as the Tweet has been screenshoted multiple times in its lifespan lasting hours thus allowing those who support such stances to make statements about it and thus further spreading the anti Semitic sentiment.
