I am going to assume you have no evidence Twitter's new management is more active in combating child porn. You can, I'm sure, find evidence of them claiming they're taking a stand, but what they've actually done is gut the safety and moderation teams.
The rise of hateful speech, on the other hand, is quite clear. We have seen a massive, sustained uptick in racist posts since the site was taken over. We see an increase in accounts associated with terrorists organizations like ISIS, many of them "verified" and impersonating famous people. We have seen an increase in postings from QAnon followers, many with verified accounts. We have seen and measured increases in violent speech across the board. I would classify all these things as "actual terrible stuff", as would any decent person.

Twitter is every bit as censored as it ever has been. It regularly bans people for criticizing Twitter policy; blocks, throttles, and downranks competitors; downranks left-wing organizations and news sources; and (pathetically) requires Felon's posts to always be ranked highly. Twitter is still censored, just by a manchild dictator rather than the hard work of fallible people.

>I presume you would call IQ statistics "racism"
Not necessarily, but most likely. I have never met a person in the wild who wanted to talk about IQ statistics without using them as a pseudo-scientific fig leaf to justify genocide. I've been on the Internet; I've played this game.
And, let me guess, next you'll say there's no way such you're racist because these statistics show Asian and Jewish people have higher IQ than white people.

Got a link to a single ISIS verified account? >downranks left-wing organizations Source? >IQ statistics without using them as a pseudo-scientific fig leaf to justify genocide I haven't seen a single IQ researcher who uses their research to advocate genocide. Got any links for proof?
