If it's people saying hateful things about groups or individuals they dislike, then there are plenty of folks on the left who say hateful things about repubs, Christians, conservatives, and pretty much anyone they have social and political disagreements with.
Neither is acceptable. I don’t see that hate speech agains Christians has increased on Twitter.
Twitter can do whatever it wants within the law, pre and post Elon, I really don't care. I can choose not to use it.
But I do find it funny because I don't believe Kanye is pro-nazi, especially being a black man, and just doing this to troll and try to stay relevant because he is whack.
The worst thing anyone can do to hurt him is to ignore him.
Twitter has agreements with the government over moderation, that didn’t just disappear when Musk took over. The European Union is meeting with them next week to insure they are addressing the issue.
According to chart of data in elon's tweet below, hate speech impressions are lower since he bought twitter.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of reach. Negativity should & will get less reach than positivity. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1598752139278532610
I'm sorry to say but from my experience on Twitter - the hate is way less than it was previously and I put that off to so many liberals leaving Twitter. Your experience may vary but I've definitely seen less hate speech.
Your experience is not a bot looking for examples of specific words across the board. That is how the stats are compiled. You are probably not personally looking at more than a couple of million tweets a day.
Unless a Black person says it and then it's all perfectly OK.
It matters who says what words and how they are said. Certain words are designed to put people down. Racial slurs and anti women slurs fall in that category.
Two women joking with each other "dumb c"
Man angry at woman "dumb c".
First instance is two women disarming that word and the second scenario is a man reminding a woman she is lower than himself. Personally, as a woman, if a man starts getting bitchy with me I'll call him it first. Hey, if he can say it so can I.
Advertisers don't care about moderated forums. Advertisers only care how much a website is being utilized. YouTube has som horrible things from heavy profanity to graphic content. They don't ban it. They often carry a warning, but that is it.
Advertisers will treat Twitter in whatever manner is best for them. If a more open forum with less censorship increases genuine membership (not bots) and increases utilization, the advertisers will follow.
Companies don't moralize. They do whatever maximized their bottom line. They will pretend to moralize if that maximizes profits.
