The “X” platform, or the former “Twitter”, is the social network in which the most lies are spread in terms of the number of posts.

these are the conclusions reached in the research report carried out by the European Commission, conducted with respondents in several EU member countries.

Practically, as the British service BBC writes, research was conducted on 6,000 unique posts on social networks “Facebook”, “Instagram”, “Linkedin”, “TikTok”, “X” and “YouTube”, and the findings of the study show that social networks globally broadcast sensitive and insufficiently verified content, i.e. manipulative.

The study analyzed content in three countries considered particularly at risk of disinformation, Spain, Poland and Slovakia.

Meanwhile, the EU issued a warning to Elon Musk to comply with new Russian fake news and propaganda laws after it was found that platform X had more misinformation than other major social media platforms, the Guardian reported. “.

The report analyzed the scale of disinformation in a new report which revealed for the first time the scale of fake news on social media across the EU, with millions of fake accounts taken down from TikTok and LinkedIn. Interestingly, Facebook was named the second-worst offender when it comes to disinformation, according to the report, which also notes that if social networks do not comply with European data-sharing rules, Brussels could in the near future to declare them illegal under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force in August.

Meanwhile, Facebook and other tech giants, including Google, TikTok and Microsoft, have signed up to a code of practice drawn up by the EU to ensure they can prepare in time to act under the new laws.

Twitter has abandoned the code of practice but is required under the new law to follow the rules or face an EU-wide ban.
