X claims to have removed hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts as directed by EU
By MYBRANDBOOK
Linda Yaccarino, X CEO, said that the microblogging platform has removed hundreds of “Hamas-linked accounts” and has taken action to remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content since the attack on Israel.
This comes after the EU Commissioner told Elon Musk, the owner of X, to send back a “prompt, accurate, and complete response” to his request in the next 24 hours.
"X is committed to serving the public conversation, especially in critical moments like this and understands the importance of addressing any illegal content that may be disseminated through the platform. There is no place on X for terrorist organisations or violent extremists groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real-time, including proactive groups," said the social media platform's CEO, Linda Yaccarino.
As per reports, X's rapid reaction can be attributed to a 24-hour ultimatum delivered by Thierry Breton, the European Union industry chief, to Elon Musk.
In his message, Breton called upon Musk to address the propagation of disinformation on X and adhere to the recently established EU online content rules. He expressed apprehensions regarding the platform's purported involvement in disseminating unlawful content and misinformation within the European Union.
The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) mandates that major online platforms such as X and Meta's Facebook (META.O) must adopt a more proactive stance in eliminating unlawful content and tackling challenges to public safety and democratic discourse.
