Elon Musk’s X the easiest platform to find Hamas content, anti-terror tech group said to warn
A tech industry counter-terrorism organization that also fights antisemitism is concerned over content posted on Elon Musk’s X on behalf of the Hamas terror group, and is worried about the social media platform’s membership on its board, The Sunday Times reports.
Members of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) believe the group’s credibility is undermined by X’s membership and position on the board, according to The Sunday Times.
The report says X, formerly Twitter, is now the platform where it is the easiest to find Hamas videos, citing reduced content moderation and other changes introduced by Musk.
