X Deletes Accounts Linked To Hamas As Its CEO Withdraws From A Significant Tech Event.
The Elon Musk-Owned X Declared On Tuesday That It Had Banned Tens Of Thousands Of Postings And Terminated Freshly Created Hamas-Affiliated Accounts For Sharing Graphic Material, Advocating Violence, And Using Hate Speech In The Midst Of The Continuing Hostilities Between Israel And Hamas. This Is In Light Of The CEO Linda Yaccarino’s Decision To Withdraw From An Important Tech Conference The Following Week.
The Platform Claimed To Be Actively Keeping An Eye Out For Anti-Semitic Remarks. “We Have Removed Many Hundred Accounts That Were Trying To Sway Trending Topics. Community Notes Are Currently Active On Postings, And The Social Media Network Announced That New Accounts Are Being Signed Up In Real-Time To Suggest And Rate Notes.
The Number Of Daily Active Users On The Platform Increased In The Area Of Conflict. “Over 50 Million Posts Have Been Made On Hamas’ Terrorist Attack On Israel Over The Weekend Across All Of The World. A Cross-Company Leadership Group Has Determined That The Current Situation Is A Crisis Needing The Highest Level Of Response As The Events Continue To Develop Quickly,” Said X.
The Platform Promised To Keep Its Community Informed Of Any Actions It Takes In Relation To The Conflict. Yaccarino, However, Decided Not To Attend The Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live Conference The Next Week. Linda Yaccarino Won’t Be Able To Make It To WSJ Tech Live Next Week. Linda And Her Team Must Continue To Be Completely Focused On X Platform Safety As The Global Crisis Develops, The Platform Said In A Statement To The WSJ. The “Global Crisis” Is A Reference To The Violence In Israel, Which Led To A Deluge Of Horrifying Videos Being Uploaded To X.
