Misinformation on Israel-Hamas conflict puts pressure on X The rapid spread of misinformation around the Israel-Hamas conflict on Elon Musk’s X platform has drawn the ire of the European Union. X on its part said it has removed newly created accounts affiliated with Islamist group Hamas and had “actioned tens of thousands of posts for sharing graphic media, violent speech, and hateful conduct.” The platform, however, did not disclose the actions it took on the posts, which can be removed or have their distribution reduced by the company. Apple complies with France’s radiation testing Apple said it planned to comply with France’s radiation testing requirements by rolling out an update that will stop the iPhone 12 from using more power when the device is in contact with static surfaces.
