By Brian Fung and Samantha Delouya | CNNA group of House Democrats has accused X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of profiting from Hamas propaganda and misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war after reports by independent researchers found numerous accounts glorifying the US-sanctioned terror group. More than two dozen US lawmakers signed the letter dated Tuesday addressed to X owner Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino. The posts were seen by a total of 92 million users on X, according to NewsGuard. Musk sued Media Matters on Monday, accusing it of distorting the likelihood that ads may be shown against extremist material. The letter calls for Yaccarino and Musk to answer by December 1 to allegations that X has amplified terrorist propaganda in violation of its own policies.
