Twitter under fire for graphic images of Texas mall shooting victims

TL;DR Summary
Twitter and its owner Elon Musk are facing criticism for allowing graphic images of the victims of the Allen Mall shooting in Texas to be posted on the social media platform. Critics have called the presence of such images "unethical" and "horrible." Musk has cut back on content moderation since he bought Twitter last year, firing workers who battled misinformation on the social media platform. Most big social media networks have teams dedicated to tracking hate speech and enforcing rules against harmful content, but under Musk, hate speech has proliferated at the service.
