Firm was only tech platform not to complete EU report via IrishTimesBiz
The report, part of the EU’s voluntary Code of Practice on Disinformation, details how companies are working to decrease the spread of misinformation such as that pushed by bots about Covid-19 to the number of political ads that were rejected. Twitter signed on to follow the code before Musk took over the company late last year, and agreed to submit an updated report every six months.
Twitter will almost certainly qualify as a “very large” online platform, requiring the company to address harmful content and submit annual risk assessments to the commission. Musk’s massive job cuts at Twitter – including the exodus of the company’s entire Brussels office – have raised concerns about whether the company will be able to make the necessary changes to comply with the EU’s rules.
Since taking over, Musk has already made a number of changes to the platform that alter the way it tackles misinformation, including eliminating its Covid-19 misinformation policy and cutting teams working on these issues.
