The social platform, formerly known as Twitter, said Hamas-affiliated accounts violate its policy on 'violent and hateful' entities.
Social media platform X said it is removing accounts affiliated with Palestinian terror group Hamas in an effort to curb the spread of 'terrorist content' online. X's safety account said late Monday that posts from daily active users in Israel have increased since Hamas launched a surprise attack on the country over the weekend. Users have also shared more than 50 million posts related to the attack, X said.
A spokesperson for X did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment. Some of the posts under scrutiny and that violate X policies include old video footage falsely alleging to show images from Hamas' current attack. X flagged such posts as containing media being 'presented out of context.' Hate speech jumped on the the service after X owner Elon Musk laid off content moderators, studies have shown.
