As coronavirus fears continued to mount on Thursday, Twitter expanded its ban on “dehumanizing language” to include disease.
A rule barring such hate speech targeting religious groups now applies to “language that dehumanises on the basis of age, disability, or disease,” the Twitter safety team said in an online post. Twitter will delete tweets already posted that break the rules, relying on users to report offending comments.
