Elon Musk’s Twitter received more criticism from the European Union Thursday after the social media firm turned in what officials see as an inadequate report.
Signatories of the newly revamped Code of Practice on Disinformation had their first reports published today. Among those reporting were tech giants Meta, Google, Twitch and Twitter. The reports detail how large and small tech companies are adhering to the code’s guidelines and fighting disinformation online.
“All signatories have submitted their reports on time, using an agreed harmonized reporting template aiming to address all commitments and measures they signed on to,” the Code Commission said in a statement. This week, EU officials blasted Mr. Musk’s decision to restrict access to Twitter’s API, which lets companies create free and helpful applications that make using the platform easier. EU officials have said the decision to paywall Twitter’s API is dangerous, especially while Russia spreads propaganda concerning its war with Ukraine.
In its report, Twitter says it’s using Community Notes, a system where users can flag tweets that contain disinformation. Mr. Musk has said this system should be enough to combat Russian disinformation about the war.
