EU Launches Investigation into Elon Musk's Platform X for Spreading Illegal Content and Violating Hate Speech Laws

The European Union has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk's X platform for spreading "illegal content" related to the Israel and Hamas conflict. X has faced criticism for hosting antisemitic content, leading to the loss of several advertisers. The investigation will assess whether X breached the Digital Services Act in areas such as risk management, content moderation, advertising transparency, and data access for researchers. European regulators will examine the platform's role in amplifying messages supporting Hitler and disseminating antisemitic content, potentially violating Germany's laws. The investigation will also scrutinize X's advertising practices and access to platform data for researchers. X has stated its commitment to transparency and freedom of speech but is cooperating with the investigation.

Fox Sports Takes Stand Against Antisemitic Content, Adds Pressure to NFL

Fox Sports has joined other major companies in pausing advertising on social media service X (formerly Twitter) after ads were found running next to antisemitic content. This puts more pressure on the NFL, which has not yet paused its advertising on the platform despite reports of its ads appearing next to antisemitic posts. X owner Elon Musk has faced backlash for retweeting and positively replying to antisemitic comments, and Media Matters For America has reported major ad campaigns running on antisemitic content on X. X has sued Media Matters, while Musk and NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy have expressed concerns about hate speech on the platform.

Elon Musk's Legal Battles Escalate Over Antisemitic Controversy on X

Elon Musk's company X is suing progressive watchdog group Media Matters over a report that highlighted antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on X's social media site, which led to a damaging advertiser exodus. The lawsuit accuses Media Matters of distorting the likelihood of ads appearing next to extremist content and seeks to force the removal of the analysis. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also announced an investigation into Media Matters. Legal experts view the lawsuit as weak and opportunistic, filed in a court that Musk likely believes will be sympathetic.
