So if you\u2019re going to post something that\u2019s illegal or against the law, you\u2019re gone. Zero tolerance. But more importantly, if you are going to post something that is lawful but it\u2019s awful, you get labeled, you get labeled, you get deamplified, which means it cannot be shared. And it is certainly demonetized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yaccarino said that policies protect brands \u201cfrom the risk of being next to that content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s also why it\u2019s really important to note that once a post is labeled and it can\u2019t be shared and the user sees that, 30% of the time they take it down themselves, staggeringly, they take it down,\u201d she claimed. \u201cAnd that reducing that hateful content from being seen is one of the best examples how X is committed to encouraging healthy behavior online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Twitter\/X CEO Linda Yaccarino: &#8220;By all objective metrics, X is a much healthier and safer platform than it was a year ago.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tXDdpebNu8\">pic.twitter.com\/tXDdpebNu8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinbaragona\/status\/1689649913783873538?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-announces-new-name-logo-and-direction\">Twitter Announces New Name, Logo, And Direction<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>X CEO Linda Yaccarino said during an interview this week that the company has new hate speech policies that \u201cdeamplify\u201d content that is deemed to be \u201clawful but awful.\u201d Yaccarino, the former advertising head at NBCUniversal, made the remarks during a CNBC interview with Sara Eisen on \u201cSquawk on the Street.\u201d Eisen pressed Yaccarino about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":134,"featured_media":1996981,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1996980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1996980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/134"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1996980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1996980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1996981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1996980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1996980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1996980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
