Musk's X has taken down hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts, CEO says_我的网站

A | 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.It is the first step in what could become the EU's inaugural investigation under the Digital Services Act, in this case to determine if the site formerly known as Twitter is in compliance with the tough new rules meant to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content.San Francisco-based X has until Wednesday to respond to questions related to how its crisis response protocol is functioning. Responses to other questions must be received by Oct. 31. The commission said its next steps, which could include the opening of formal proceedings and penalties, would be determined by X's replies.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."Yaccarino on Thursday outlined steps taken by X to combat illegal content flourishing on the platform. She was responding to an earlier letter from a top European Union official for information on how X is complying with the EU's new digital rules during the Israel-Hamas war. That letter, which essentially served as a warning, was not legally binding — the latest one, however, is. “X is proportionately and effectively assessing and addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis,” Yaccarino said in a letter to European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the 27-nation bloc's digital enforcer.But some say the efforts are not nearly enough to tackle the problem.“While these actions are better than nothing, it is not enough to curtail the misinformation problem on X,” said Kolina Koltai, a researcher at the investigative collective Bellingcat who previously worked at Twitter on Community Notes. “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.” Since the war erupted, photos and videos have flooded social media of the carnage, including haunting footage of Hamas fighters taking terrified Israelis hostage, alongside posts from users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events. The conflict is one of the first major tests for the EU’s groundbreaking digital rules, which took effect in August. Breton fired off a similar letter Thursday to TikTok, telling CEO Shou Zi Chew that he has a “particular obligation” to protect child and teen users from “violent content depicting hostage taking and other graphic videos” reportedly making the rounds on the video sharing app. 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.Those changes are running up against the EU's Digital Services Act, which forces social media companies to step up policing of their platforms for illegal content, such as terrorist material or illegal hate speech, under threat of hefty fines. “There is no place on X for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real time, including proactive efforts,” Yaccarino wrote in the letter posted to X.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." The platform has been “responding promptly” and in a “diligent and objective manner” to takedown requests from law enforcement agencies from around the world, including more than 80 from EU member states, Yaccarino said. Koltai, the researcher and former Twitter employee, said Community Notes are not an “end-all solution to curtailing misinfo” and that there are gaps that the feature just can't fill yet.“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. Since Musk acquired Twitter and renamed it, social-media watchers say the platform has become not just unreliable but actively promotes falsehoods, while a study commissioned by the EU found that it's the worst-performing platform for online disinformation. Rivals such as TikTok, YouTube and Facebook also are coping with a flood of unsubstantiated rumors and falsehoods about the Middle Eastern conflict, playing the typical whack-a-mole that erupts each time a news event captures world attention.Breton, the EU official, urged TikTok's leader to step up its efforts at tackling disinformation and illegal content and respond within 24 hours. The company did not reply immediately to an email seeking comment. Breton's warning letters have also gone to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta. —AP Technology Writer Barbara Ortutay in Oakland, California, contributed to this report.。〈사진출처=연합뉴스〉 김윤덕 국토교통부 장관이 "그린벨트에 대해 전향적으로 검토하겠다는 서울시 입장에 환영을 표한다"고 말한 데 대해 서울시가 "용산공원 내 주택공급 방침 철회를 전제로 한 것이었다"고 해명했습니다. 오세훈 서울시장과 김윤덕 국토교통부 장관이 오늘(26일) 서울의 한 식당에서 만나 주택 공급 등의 문제를 협의했습니다. 김 장관은 만남 이후 자신의 SNS를 통해 "결과적으로 합의에 이르지 못했으나, 그린벨트에 대해 전향적으로 검토하겠다는 서울시의 입장에 환영을 표한다"고 말했습니다. 그러자 서울시도 곧바로 입장문을 내고 "서울시가 말한 그린벨트 검토는 정부가 용산공원 내 주택공급 방침을 철회한다는 것을 전제로, 이미 훼손돼 보전가치가 낮은 일부 그린벨트 해제를 검토할 수 있다는 취지"라고 밝혔습니다. 그러면서, 서울시는 "정부가 현실 불가능한 용산공원 주장을 내려놓는다면 탄천물재생센터를 비롯한 대체부지와 훼손된 그린벨트 등 서울의 주택공급 확대를 위한 합리적인 방안을 얼마든지 함께 논의할 준비가 돼 있다"고 설명했습니다. 서울시는 '용산공원 주택공급 불가' 입장을 강조하고 있지만 김 장관은 전혀 다른 생각입니다. 김 장관은 서울시에 "'어떤 경우에도 용산 미군 반환부지 내에 절대 집을 지을 수 없다'는 용산 불가론만 고수해선 안 된다"면서 "장교 숙소 등 이미 훼손된 부지 일부를 활용하는 것과 그에 대한 공론화 절차에 대해서도 열린 마음으로 동참해 달라"고 요구했습니다. 두 사람은 다음 주쯤 다시 만나 용산공원과 서울시가 제시한 탄천물재생센터 부지 등을 놓고 이견을 좁혀나갈 예정입니다.。
