A European Commission study has concluded that Elon Musk's new Twitter policies failed to stop Russian propaganda.
In its report, the European Union's governing body said that despite commitments to take action against Russian propaganda by social media companies, the spread of disinformation on such platforms flourished. Even on the X platform, once called Twitter, Russian disinformation grew, they said.
"During 2022, the audience and reach of Kremlin-linked social media accounts grew significantly across Europe. Preliminary analysis suggests that the reach and influence of Kremlin-backed accounts increased further in the first half of 2023, driven in particular by the dismantling of Twitter's security standards ," the report said.
On August 25, the EU published new digital rules for the biggest social media platforms - the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The DSA is designed to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content, and platforms that fall under the new rules include Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat and X.
In its report, the European Commission concluded that if the DSA had been operational before last month, social media companies, including X, would have breached their legal duties.
