Following the terrorist attacks by Hamas against 🇮🇱, we have indications of X/Twitter being used to disseminate illegal content & disinformation in the EU.
Urgent letter to @elonmusk on #DSA obligations ⤵️
NEWS: X recently replaced Smyte, an internal tool that detected when accounts posted identical or closely related media.
Smyte streamlined the process of spotting similar media across various accounts however was expensive and ran on Google’s servers.
The current substitute tool may not recognize media with slight variations. The current tool is less expensive and runs on prem.
This new tools limitations may make it harder in combating organized disinformation efforts, where a multitude of fake profiles disseminate the same content.

On Israel. I I recall the early days of Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine. This was the worst tragedy, with many people killed. It was critical not to feel alone. Feeling supported can help you save your country, people, and life.
This is why I urge all leaders to visit Israel and show their support for the people. I’m not talking about any institutions, but about support for the people who suffered from terrorist attacks and are dying today.
“This is the hardest time I’ve ever had covering a crisis on here. Credible links are now photos. On the ground news outlets struggle to reach audiences without an expensive blue check mark. Xenophobic goons are boosted by the platform’s CEO."

Today, the entire world saw horrifying videos from Israel. Terrorists humiliate women and men, detain even the elderly, and show no mercy.
In the face of such a terrorist strike, everyone who values life must stand in solidarity.
We in Ukraine have a special feeling about what has happened. Thousands of rockets in the Israeli sky... People killed just on the streets... Civilian cars shot through... Detainees being humiliated…
Our position is crystal clear: anyone who causes terror and death anywhere on the planet must be held accountable.
Today’s terrorist attack on Israel was well-planned, and the entire world knows which sponsors of terrorism could have endorsed and enabled its organization.
Israel has the full right to defend itself against terror. As any other state. And it’s critical that the whole world responds to terror in a unified and principled manner.
