“Toxic Twitter”: How Twitter generates millions in ad revenue by bringing back banned accounts

On Thursday March 9, from 10:30 to 11:30AM CET, the EU DisinfoLab hosted a webinar with the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).

Imran Ahmed, CEO of CCDH, presented the main findings of the latest CCDH study, “Toxic Twitter” and how the social media platform stands to make up to $19m a year from ads on just ten toxic reinstated accounts, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists, misogynists and spreaders of dangerous conspiracy theories.

An opportunity to learn more about how to stop funding misinformation through ads.
