PCH24.pl: The European Union has already begun censorship of harmful content in the network
Date: December 15, 2023 Editor: Anna
The Centre for Countering Digital hatred (CDH), a non-profit organization that, as it points out, combats “disinformation” and “hate speech” online, reporting “suspected” posts to online platforms and at the same time publishing reports on alleged violations, regrets that in peculiar platform X (formerly Twitter) does not remove the content “motivated by hatred, prejudice or intolerance”.
CCDH accuses platform X that it has abandoned the moderating of anti-Semitic and Islamicophobic content. specified conclusions have been drawn on the basis of the 200 examples of the alleged "talk of hatred" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reported from 101 accounts. She “discovered” that despite the notification, a week later 96 percent of these posts remained online.
The group added that, indeed, these entries should not be regarded as a "representative effort at posts related to the Israeli-Gaza crisis, but alternatively as a way to test the X platform's moderation systems".
The content mentioned had a full of over 24 million views, with only 1 post suspended and 2 more “locked”. 43 out of 101 accounts have been verified.
– After unprecedented terrorist cruelty to the Jews in Israel and the subsequent armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, haters took advantage without hesitation of the chance to usage social media platforms to publicize their bigotry and mobilise force in the real planet against Jews and Muslims, causing even more pain," said Imran Ahmed, CEO and founder of the group. In his opinion, platform X does not cope with the “talk of hatred”.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) has been in force in the EU since 25 August, which requires social media and browsers to censor real but harmful content, “disinformation”, “loath speech”, although there is no legal definition of specified concepts. There are only guides and alleged good practices in combating mis-, mal- and disinformation prepared by progressive “experts”. The DSA regulations are to be extended to smaller online platforms from February 2024.
Up to 6 percent of global yearly gross is being punished for the deficiency of content moderation and the fight against hatred speech by social media and browsers.
In October, the European Commission requested explanations from Meta, X and You Tube on mandatory measures taken to combat “disinformation” and “enhanced and distributed illegal content” in relation to the elections in Poland and the Israeli-Palestinian war.
It is worth realizing that, in order to "defence democracy" and build its "resistance", not only is the EU fighting for "information integrity". The applicable reforms were proposed by president Joe Biden's squad and UN chief Antonio Guterres in his package of reforms included in Our Common Agenda, which is presently being discussed internationally.
Elon Musk, X platform chief at the beginning of 2023 tweeted that the CCDH organization was “really bad” and “spreads misinformation and censorship”. lawyer Muska accused the group of presenting "a scope of disturbing and groundless claims which appear to be calculated against the overall harm of Twitter, and in peculiar its digital advertising activities".
The CCDH leadership considered this to be a "abnormal threat" and "an alarming effort to intimidate those who have the courage to defy incitement, hatred speech and harmful content on the Internet".
