Site takes no action over hate posts against UK politicians including Kemi Badenoch, Shabana Mahmood and Zia Yusuf
X has refused to take down dozens of social media posts reported as “hate, abuse or harassment” in which prominent UK politicians, including Kemi Badenoch, have been racially abused.
In May, researchers from the social inclusion thinktank British Future reported 30 posts from this year in which the Conservative party leader was called the N-word. In each case the researchers used the platform’s “hate, abuse or harassment” reporting option. X refused to act in the majority of cases, despite repeated requests.
The Guardian understands X routinely takes action only when posts are reported to it as illegal under the UK’s Online Safety Act. In those cases, it restricts visibility in the UK, leaving the post unrestricted in other jurisdictions.
Paki is the “P-word”.
Which by itself doesn’t seem like a big deal but apparently it is used as a derogatory term. Seems like a bitch move by pakistanis to try coop the weight of the n-word tho.
It is extremely derogatory and hateful in the UK and has many decades of violence and discrimination behind it. Seems like a bitch move by you to try to minimize the impact of societal hatred and violence towards a group of people purely because of the color of their skin. You used the word “apparently,” which means you don’t really know what you are talking about, but then you go and judge people as being bitches for feeling extremely hurt for being treated as second class citizens and having violence perpetrated on them simply for the color of their skin.
It’s paki, not P-word. Take this shit seriously it isn’t to be thrown around.
It sounds like you’re not from the UK; there’s a lot of violent hate towards South Asians there. People have had their houses burned down while they’re called this very slur just this past week.
This past week? Well that changes everything then. It’s paki not p-word. Take this shit seriously it isn’t to be thrown around.
