An EU report found X has the highest proportion of Russian disinformation of any major social network.
AdvertisementAdvertisementThe EU has warned that X, the social media company owned by Elon Musk, must clamp down on disinformation, after a study found that Russian propaganda was proliferating on the site.
A report from the European Commission found that X, formerly Twitter, had the highest proportion of Russian disinformation of any of the major social media platforms, as Musk continues to overhaul the social network's anti-disinformation policies.
The report examined 6,000 posts from Spain, Slovakia, and Poland made across a number of social media platforms.
Posting on X, the company's Global Government Affairs team said that X was committed to complying with the Digital Services Act.
