Elon Musk acquired Twitter to make it a social media platform that prioritizes freedom of speech.

"Freedom of speech is a foundational element of democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," said Elon Musk, as reported by Reuters on Tuesday, April 26, 2022.

While this sounds ideal, some believe that this freedom also risks increasing cases of hate speech and online harassment on social media.

Online Harassment of Women

According to a Plan International survey in 2020, cases of online harassment against young women on Twitter were relatively low compared to other social media platforms.

The survey involved 14,000 women aged 15-25 from 22 countries, including Brazil, Benin, the United States, and India.

Plan International found that only 9% of respondents had experienced harassment on Twitter. Harassment on TikTok was even lower, at only 6%.

Social media platforms managed by Meta – Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp – had the highest rates of harassment.

39% of respondents reported being harassed on Facebook, 23% on Instagram, and 14% on WhatsApp.
