X and Ofcom Agree to Stop Illegal Content
Introduction
The social media site X has a new deal with the UK regulator Ofcom. X will work harder to stop hate speech and terrorist posts.
Main Body
Ofcom checked X because some people used the site to plan crimes. Now, X will block terrorist accounts in the UK. X will also check bad posts quickly. They want to remove most bad posts in 24 hours. X will send reports to Ofcom every three months for one year. Some people are happy about this. Other people say X still does not stop racism well enough. They say X only acts when users report a post. Ofcom is also looking at the Grok AI tool. This tool makes fake and bad pictures of women and girls. Other countries like France and the EU are also worried about this tool.
Conclusion
Ofcom will watch X for one year to make sure the company keeps its promises.
