Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, has explained, on Thursday, how the social media platform has been dealing with illegal content related to the ongoing Israel \u2013 Hamas war. It comes after one of the top regulators of European Union claimed that the platform is being used to spread disinformation.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on the southern territory of Israel over the weekend, making it the deadly assault ever faced by the country in over 50 years. Hamas has been recognised as terrorist organisation by many countries including U.S., Japan, Australia, Israel, and European Union.<\/p>\n
In a letter posted on X, Yaccarino said that after the Hamas attack, the social media firm \u201cassembled a leadership group to assess the situation.\u201d It added that the platform has \u201cidentified and removed hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts\u201d since the start of the war.<\/p>\n
The CEO, while sharing details over the firm\u2019s policies regarding violent speech, synthetic or manipulated media, said, \u201cX is committed to serving the public conversation, especially in critical moments like this.\u201d It added that there is no place on the social media platform for terrorist organisation or violent extremist group and also understand the importance of removing any illegal data that may be disseminated through X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
