European officials warned X that the company appears to have been hosting misinformation and illegal content about the war between Hamas and Israel, in potential violation of the EU's content moderation law.
European officials warned X on Tuesday that the company formerly known as Twitter appears to have been hosting misinformation and illegal content about the war between Hamas and Israel, in potential violation of the European Union's signature content moderation law.
Much of the problematic content appears to stem from platform changes made under Musk's supervision, Breton suggested in the letter, which he shared on X. Under the DSA, which became enforceable for large platforms in August, companies must also act swiftly when officials highlight content that violates European laws, which X may not be doing, Breton warned.
In an exchange on X, Musk replied to Breton. "Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports," Musk wrote. "Please list the violations you allude to on X, so that that the public can see them." In an effort to make the video look like a real BBC News report, its creators used graphics almost identical to what the BBC uses in its own online video reports.X did not remove the fake BBC News video, but it did append a small label under the video noting it is "manipulated media."
