X COMMITS TO 24-HOUR HATE CONTENT REVIEWS IN UK

The social media platform committed to faster moderation of reported material as part of measures to comply with UK regulatory standards. The pledges follow Ofcom's probe into X's handling of harmful content. Under the new commitments, X will prioritize the review of flagged illegal hate speech, aiming to assess reported posts within one day. The platform will also implement broader protections for UK users to address concerns raised during the regulator's investigation. Ofcom has been scrutinizing major social media platforms' content moderation practices, particularly regarding illegal material and harmful speech. X's commitments represent an attempt to address these regulatory concerns and demonstrate compliance with UK rules. The 24-hour review window applies specifically to reports of illegal hate content, with X expected to take appropriate action once material is assessed. The platform's obligations reflect growing pressure on tech companies to improve moderation speed and accuracy across European markets.
