X updates policies; CEO drops out of conference as Israel-Palestine violence continues

The Hindu  

X, formerly Twitter, has updated its policies to fight a flood of hate speech and false videos posted and shared on its platform as the violence rocking Israel and Palestine in past days killed hundreds of civilians on both sides. X’s Safety Team said on Tuesday that users can choose not to see certain sensitive content which it believes should remain available to the public, to let them understand what is taking place in real time. Plus we’ve taken action to remove several hundred accounts attempting to manipulate trending topics,” said part of the X Safety Team’s statement. Citing the current global situation and the need to focus on platform safety, X CEO Linda Yaccarino decided not to attend the WSJ Tech Live Conference scheduled to take place next week, shared WSJ journalist Joanna Stern on Tuesday.
