A valuable social media platform like Twitter-X carries a huge responsibility that should never be ignored.
People from different countries and languages express their thoughts here. Twitter has a reporting feature for obscene or violent content, but in my experience, it fails 95% of the time.
Why?
1. Complaints are translated word-for-word into English.
2. Obscene words in ancient languages like Tamil (and many others) are culturally recognized, but word-for-word translation often misses their real meaning.
3. In Tamil society, for instance, most decent people avoid using such words in public — but Twitter fails to catch them.
A Possible Solution:
Twitter-X can appoint small monitoring groups (10 members each) from political parties and opposition parties in every country.
These groups can judge posts in the context of their language, culture, and customs.
This will make it clearer which posts are truly obscene and which are acceptable.
If not, Twitter risks turning into a platform dominated by indecent voices, driving away civilized users.
I sincerely request Twitter-X to make such arrangements, so that it remains a decent platform for future generations.
