Twitter Releases New Policy on 'Dehumanizing Speech' | WIRED

“Not all dangerous speech has dehumanizing language, and not all comparisons of human beings with animals are dehumanizing,” says Benesch. “Twitter and other platforms should be careful not to define dehumanization too broadly. For example, it’s tempting to say that any demeaning remark about a group of people, such as ‘the X people are all thieves’ or ‘all corrupt’ is dehumanizing. That one is not dehumanizing, since corruption is a specialty of humans.”
