European Commissioner Thierry Breton has called on Elon Musk, CEO of social media platform X (name not mentioned), to take action against disinformation related to the Israel-Hamas war. The European Commission has warned both Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), and Elon Musk about the spread of disinformation on their platforms regarding the conflict. The EU is urging social media platforms to have clearer policies and content moderation around videos and images related to the Hamas attacks on Israel. X has reportedly removed hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts and taken action to remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content since the militant group's attack on Israel. The EU has sent letters to top social media platforms, including X and Meta, emphasizing the need to address the flood of misinformation about the Israel-Hamas conflict to comply with the EU's Digital Services Act. CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, has responded to the EU's warning, stating that the platform has removed or labeled "tens of thousands" of Israel-Hamas war posts.
