Since the militant group’s attack on Israel, the social media platform X has taken steps to classify or remove tens of thousands of pieces of content and hundreds of profiles linked with Hamas, according to its chief executive Linda Lou Yaccarino.

The action was taken in reaction to Elon Musk receiving a 24-hour ultimatum from EU industry leader Thierry Breton to address the propagation of misinformation on X, formerly known as Twitter, following the Hamas attack to comply with new EU online content standards.

Breton claimed to have evidence that the European Union was using X to spread false information and unlawful content. Large online platforms, like X and Meta’s (META.O) Facebook, must delete illegal information and take action to address the threats to public safety and civic dialogue under the recently passed Digital Services Act (DSA).

Yaccarino stated without going into detail about X’s modifications to handle the quickly changing scenario. She also mentioned that soon after the attack, the Musk-owned corporation created a leadership team to analyze the situation.

“We wish to reiterate that we welcome further engagement with you and your team, including a meeting, to address any specific questions and look forward to receiving further specifics to which we can respond,” Yaccarino said in the letter to Breton, which X’s behalf.

The letter claims that X has complied with more than 80 EU takedown requests promptly and has not been notified by Europol of any unlawful content on the site.

On Wednesday, Breton sent a similar warning to Meta (META.O), telling the business 24 hours to let him know what steps they had taken to stop the dissemination of false material on their platforms in the wake of the attack on Israel.
