Overview
- X, under a Friday commitment set out by Ofcom, will speed reviews of suspected illegal hate speech and terrorist posts for UK users.
- The platform agreed to an average 24-hour review window for flagged posts, with at least 85 percent assessed within 48 hours.
- X will block UK access to accounts run by groups proscribed under terrorism law and will send Ofcom quarterly performance data for 12 months.
- Ofcom said the step follows recent hate-motivated crimes against British Jews, as campaign groups welcomed the move while warning that X still fails to curb racism.
- Ofcom will track results for a year under the Online Safety Act, with its probe into X and Grok still open and parallel checks underway in the EU, Australia and Singapore.
