Social media platforms have given up
Several people have accused Elon Musk’s company X of using social media platforms to spread misinformation and fake news ahead of the upcoming US presidential election. The claims were made by a former X employee who said he was fired last year for reporting fake news and spreading conspiracy theories on X. Another ex-employee tweeted, “I was fired for reporting fake news on X.”
Sources say that the EU has no threats against Musk
X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the social media platform has identified and removed “hundreds” of Hamas-affiliated accounts in response to European Union Digital Services Commissioner Linda Breton’s concerns about how X is being used for distribution of illegal content and misinformation. She added that over 700 unique notes are being shown on the platform relating to the Israel-Hamas war.
