American Muslims: civic engagement is up (60%→85% registration since 2016), representation is growing (5 in Congress). But so is the backlash: 35,000+ Islamophobic posts targeted one Muslim candidate in a single 2025 race according to @csohate.

🗨️ The problem isn't AI - but platform-driven financial incentives that lead actors to push out vast volumes of hate and disinformation, often without a second thought. Grateful to @csohate for giving me the opportunity to elaborate on WHAT TO FIX's work on #monetization.
Why does hateful content keep thriving online? What to Fix Executive Director @riovictoire explains how tying revenue to engagement turns outrage into a profitable business model, allowing actors to scale harmful content across markets even faster with generative AI. The problem is not simply AI. It is the incentives platforms have created and their failure to consistently enforce their own policies.

.@csohate & @kunalpurohit reported 225 songs promoting violence & hatred to major platforms. 6 months later, only 18 had been removed. Meanwhile, YouTube ads, Meta creator programmes & streaming royalties continue to reward many of the creators spreading anti-Muslim hatred. Big Tech has the policies to stop this. It chose not to.
