New York: European Commission late Thursday said it sent X a formal request for information under its strict new digital content management rules.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk\u2019s X faces further intense scrutiny in the European Union after regulators demanded answers over concerns about \u201cillegal\u201d and even \u201cterrorist\u201d content on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
X, formerly known as Twitter, received a one-week ultimatum \u2014 until Oct. 18 \u2014 to respond to regulators\u2019 questions about \u201cthe activation and functioning\u201d of its crisis-response protocol, and will have to respond on other questions by Oct. 31, the commission said in a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis formal request for information is a step to fully understand what measures @X is taking to ensure online safety,\u201d commission Vice President Vera Jourova wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n
The move comes after the EU\u2019s internal market commissioner Thierry Breton set a 24-hour deadline for X owner Musk to respond to allegations that the platform was ignoring notices of illegal content in relation to the Israel-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n
In the letter to X earlier this week, which Breton posted on the social platform, he reminded Musk that he has an obligation to take \u201cvery precise\u201d content moderation measures under the EU\u2019s Digital Services Act.<\/p>\n
X faces possible fines if it provides the commission with \u201cincorrect, incomplete or misleading information\u201d in response, according to the news release. X\u2019s spokespeople didn\u2019t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.<\/p>\n
John Kirby, the spokesman for the US National Security Council, told reporters Thursday he was grateful that X removed some disinformation related to the attack on Israel.<\/p>\n
ByteDance Ltd.\u2019s TikTok on Thursday was added to a growing list of leading social media players, along with Meta Platforms Inc., that Breton has been warning to take prompt action to stop the spread of disinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] New York: European Commission late Thursday said it sent X a formal request for information under its strict new digital content management rules.
