The Elephant in the Room: Hate Speech and Online Aggression

As the digital battle between Iran and Israel intensifies, concerns about the spread of hate speech and online aggression are growing. Critics argue that Twitter's policies on tackling such issues have been too lenient, allowing offensive content to spread far and wide.

• COVID-19

• Economic struggles
