In the aftermath of the recent Hamas attacks on Israel, the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has removed hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts, stating “There is no place on X for terrorist organizations”. “X is committed to serving the public conversation, especially in critical moments like this and understands the importance of addressing any illegal content that may be disseminated through the platform. There is no place on X for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real-time, including proactive groups,” said the social media platform’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino. Breton voiced concerns over the platform’s alleged use in distributing illegal content and disinformation within the European Union. In a letter to Breton, Yaccarino expressed X’s willingness to engage further with the EU and its team, including holding a meeting to address any specific concerns.
