A new legal requirement in California now mandates major social media platforms, including X Corp., to publicly outline their policies on hate speech and disinformation. The move aims to increase transparency amid growing concerns over misinformation and harmful content online. Companies will need to specify whether they monitor or remove such material and how they enforce their standards. Critics argue this could force platforms to clarify their often opaque content moderation practices.
Musk's X Corp., along with other social media companies operating in the state, must disclose whether and how it defines hate speech and disinformation.
