The European Commission has released a study stating that Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter) has contributed to the spread of Russian propaganda about Russia’s war against Ukraine.

According to the news of Ukrinform, The Washington Post is reporting on this subject.

According to the year-long study, Russian disinformation against Ukraine has increased, despite voluntary commitments by major social networks, including Meta, to take action against Russian propaganda.

“In 2022, the audience and reach of Kremlin-linked social media accounts increased significantly across Europe. “Preliminary analysis shows that the reach and influence of Kremlin-supported accounts is further increased in the first half of 2023, mainly due to the deterioration of Twitter’s security standards,” the European Commission said. said.

The EU has taken a much more aggressive regulatory approach to disinformation than the US.

As reported, the law on digital services came into effect in the European Union on August 25th, introducing new obligations for Internet platforms, including Facebook, Apple Store and various Google services.
