Elon Musk's X appears to have removed a feature letting users report electoral misinformation. AdvertisementAdvertisementElon Musk's X — formerly known as Twitter — appears to have removed a feature that allows users to report misinformation about elections, according to research from a major Australian think tank . It could also impact users' ability to report fake electoral news in the run-up to the 2024 US presidential elections. The letter points out that reporting categories on the social media platform no longer have the option to report electoral misinformation. Previously Australian users could select 'It's misleading' about 'Politics' category.

☆ Musk's X disabled feature for reporting electoral misinformation - researcher

REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSYDNEY, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's X, formerly called Twitter, disabled a feature that let users report misinformation about elections, a research organisation said on Wednesday, throwing fresh concern about false claims spreading just before major U.S. and Australian votes. Users could still report posts to X globally for a host of other complaints such as promoting violence or hate speech, the researcher added. In a letter to X's managing director for Australia, Angus Keene, Reset.Tech Australia said the change may leave content that violates X's own policy banning electoral misinformation online without an appropriate review process. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), which will oversee the Oct. 14 referendum, has said the spread of electoral misinformation is the worst it has seen. The commission said it was still able to report posts containing political misinformation directly to X, even after the feature was disabled.
