EU Warns Elon Musk's X of Disinformation in Ukraine-Russia Conflict

X, formerly known as Twitter, has been identified as the social media platform with the highest ratio of mis/disinformation posts, yet it does not participate in a program aimed at combating the spread of disinformation. A European Union official accused Russia of waging a disinformation war, investing millions in a "weapon of mass manipulation" that targets not only Russians but also the rest of the world. Facebook, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and 40 other companies have joined efforts to stop the spread of disinformation. The EU issued a report analyzing posts that will be illegal under the Digital Services Act. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also warned of a Russian disinformation campaign.
