Elon Musk's social media platform, X, has been tested by the Israel-Hamas war misinformation. X has stated that it has removed or labeled tens of thousands of posts, including "illegal" content, since the conflict began. The platform has also taken action to remove hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts. X's chief executive, Linda Yaccarino, has confirmed these actions and stated that the platform is responding to the EU's disinformation warning. However, the war between Israel and Hamas is proving to be a significant challenge for social media's content policing, and X Corp. is currently facing difficulties in effectively managing the situation.
