Challenges Facing Elon Musk's Social Media Platform X
Labour MP Dawn Butler has announced plans to summon Elon Musk to testify before the UK Parliament about his social media platform, X. Butler, a candidate for chair of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee, along with fellow Labour MP Chi Onwurah, is pushing for an inquiry into X's use of algorithms and its role in spreading misinformation.
Musk's platform has been under fire for its role in fueling unrest in the UK, and the situation is further complicated by legal issues in Brazil, where X remains suspended due to non-compliance with local regulations. Despite Musk's objections, users in Brazil face fines for attempting to access the platform.
With calls for more transparency and accountability, Musk's leadership of X is coming under increasing scrutiny. Will these challenges reshape the future of social media regulation? Stay tuned for updates.
