X commits to UK regulator to reduce hate content

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

X has pledged to Ofcom, the UK's media regulator, that it will reduce hate and terror content on its platform. The company plans to expedite its review process for reported content, aiming to assess 85% of hate speech within 48 hours. This commitment comes despite a UC Berkeley study indicating a 50% increase in hate speech on the platform after Elon Musk's acquisition. Ofcom will monitor X's performance quarterly and is also investigating Elon Musk's Grok AI for generating harmful imagery. AI

IMPACT X's commitment to Ofcom may signal a broader trend of social media platforms facing increased regulatory scrutiny over AI-driven content moderation.
