EU opens investigation into X
The European Union has opened an investigation into X - the social media platform that was known as Twitter - over the possible spread of violent content and hate speech, after the Hamas attack on Israel.The probe - the first under the bloc's Digital Services Act - will also look into whether there have been other breaches linked to illegal content and disinformation, and the way complaints are handled.
X was ordered to provide its answers this month.
Earlier, X said it had taken down or labelled tens of thousands of pieces of content. It is estimated that more than half a billion are posted each day.
