X Corp: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment she has made of the levels of UK X users’ awareness of X’s new UK illegal content form.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology notes X’s new UK illegal content reporting form and deadlines for reviewing reported content.
We also note X’s commitments to engage experts on reporting systems for illegal hate and terrorist content and to act against accounts operated by, or on behalf of, proscribed organisations. X will report quarterly to Ofcom on these commitments.
As the measures are new and untested, their effectiveness will be considered in due course alongside Ofcom’s supervision of the illegal content duties and the user redress provisions under the Online Safety Act. Ofcom retains our full support to use its enforcement powers as required.
