Did you know X Is Rolling Out A New Button On The Web App To Report Illegal Content From The EU
Tech giants functioning in Europe will now be offering more endeavors to
help make the web clean of content that’s illegal. And one of the first
firms working on this initiative seems to be the X platform.
Users will now be given the chance to report EU illegal content through a simple click of a button, as spotted by Nima Owji.
And this is aligned with the Digital Services Act. Other tech giants
will soon be forced into taking similar measures as this feature is
created to help ensure users make the most of a safe and private
browsing experience.
The news comes at a time when the European
Commission expressed major concern about how leading tech giants and
online platforms were simply not doing enough to report such illegal
forms of content. Therefore, strict recommendations were sent out to
companies to cater to this guideline or face fines worth billions.
It
also highlighted how leading tech platforms should be more responsible
in terms of governing their content. And this includes removing,
detecting, and also preventing such kinds of content online at a swift
pace.
