Twitter bans posts that dehumanise others on the basis of religion

San Francisco: Twitter has expanded its rules against hateful conduct to include language on its platform that dehumanises others on the basis of religion.
Tweets that go against the new policy will be taken down, the micro-blogging platform said in a statement on Tuesday.
“If reported, tweets that break this rule sent before today will need to be deleted, but will not directly result in any account suspensions because they were tweeted before the rule was set,” said the company.
Last year, Twitter asked for feedback from different communities and cultures to ban hateful content based on religion.
