EU asks Musk’s X for information on hate speech and ‘illegal content’ related to Israel-Hamas war
LONDON — The European Commission on Thursday made a formal, legally binding request for information from Elon Musk’s social media platform X over its handling of hate speech, misinformation and violent terrorist content related to the Israel-Hamas war.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The company’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, said earlier that the site has removed hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts and taken down or labeled tens of thousands of pieces of content since the militant group’s attack on Israel. One social media expert called the actions “a drop in the bucket.”
“There is an overwhelming amount of misinformation on the platform,” Koltai said. “From what we have seen, the moderation efforts from X are only addressing a drop in the bucket.” For X, changes that Musk has made to the platform since he bought it last year mean accounts that subscribe to X’s blue-check service can get paid if their posts go viral, creating a financial incentive to post whatever gets the most reaction. Plus, X’s workforce — including its content moderation team — has been gutted.
X has taken action to “remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content,” Yaccarino said, pointing out that there are 700 unique Community Notes — a feature that allows users to add their own fact-checks to posts — “related to the attacks and unfolding events.” “There are still many videos and photos on X that don’t have notes that are unmoderated, and continue to spread misleading claims,” she said.
