Yesterday, Elon Musk published a tweet about one of the new functions of Twitter, which functions similarly to Tik Tok’s “swipe to show more videos” function. Although this feature was released in October, but its highlight by Mask caused the attention of users to be drawn to it. Now, many users have reported that the feature has shown them violent videos without any warning.

Most of the mentioned videos have been published on Twitter in the past two days and have been shown to millions of users. It seems that Musk was aware of the content of these videos because he warned users about this issue. These videos, which include police brutality, animal torture and vaccination misinformation, illustrate the problem with Twitter’s algorithm.
The publication of violent content is against Twitter’s rules, and now the broadcast of the aforementioned videos once again shows the platform’s problem in monitoring content. After taking over Twitter, Elon Musk fired part of the company’s content monitoring team, and the company’s head of trust and security recently resigned. Musk is a big fan of absolute freedom of speech, and apparently, this issue has now caused the spread of misinformation on Twitter.
