X (Twitter) Failed to Act on 86% of Hate Speech Posts, Researchers Say

The CCDH report also highlighted that major companies such as Apple and Disney had their online ads running next to the hateful content on X. This raises concerns about brand safety and the need for better content moderation tools.
The report further emphasized the importance of regulating social media platforms like X to address the spread of hate and misinformation. It called on Congress to take action in holding platforms and their owners accountable for enabling dangerous content that could have real-life consequences.
In a recent report by the CCDH, it was revealed that X, a social media platform, has failed to effectively remove hate speech posts despite being notified of the violations. The report collected evidence of 300 posts containing hateful content, including racist and antisemitic messages, and found that only 41 of these posts were taken down by X.
