Twitter<\/a>’s report was short of data and didn’t include commitments from the social media company that it would empower<\/a> fact-checkers, the EU’s executive arm said Thursday in a statement.
“I am disappointed to see that Twitter’s report lags behind others and I expect a more serious commitment to their obligations,” wrote Vice President Vera Jourova, in charge of values of transparency for the European Commission<\/a>.
Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, who recently spoke with Twitter owner Elon Musk<\/a> about following the EU’s rules, didn’t reference the company directly, but said that “it comes as no surprise that the degree of quality vary greatly according to the resources companies have allocated to this project.”
The report, part of the EU’s voluntary Code of Practice on Disinformation, details how companies are working to decrease the spread of misinformation such as that pushed by bots about Covid-19 to the number of political ads that were rejected. Twitter signed on to follow the code before Musk<\/a> took over the company late last year, and agreed to submit an updated report every six months.
While companies aren’t required to participate, not complying fully could put Twitter on a bad track with regulators, especially as companies get ready to implement a wide range of content moderation rules in the upcoming Digital Services Act by Sept. 1. Failing to follow the DSA could cost a company fines of as much as 6% of its annual revenue or even prompt the commission to ban a platform altogether.
Twitter will almost certainly qualify as a “very large online platform,” requiring the company to address harmful content and submit annual risk assessments to the commission. Musk’s massive job cuts at Twitter — including the exodus of the company’s entire Brussels office — have raised concerns about whether the company will be able to make the necessary changes to comply with the EU’s rules.
An email seeking comment on the disinformation report was sent to Twitter’s press email, but wasn’t immediately returned.
Since taking over, Musk has already made a number of changes to the platform that alter the way it tackles misinformation, including eliminating its Covid-19 misinformation policy and cutting teams working on these issues.
He has made a point of promoting a little-known feature called Community Notes, which asks fact-checking volunteers to add more context to misleading or incorrect tweets, but the current design has limitations around misinformation that is politically polarizing.
Twitter is also ending free access to their APIs, which has allowed academic researchers to study the company. Now researchers will likely have to pay to obtain this information.

Twitter Inc .)。是唯一的技术平台,不发欧盟一个完整的报告,详细说明解决虚假信息,此举激怒了监管机构的风险。
推特的报告的数据,不包括从社交媒体公司,它将承诺授权事实,欧盟的执行机构周四在一份声明中说。
“我很失望地看到,Twitter的报告落后于别人,我希望一个更严肃的承诺义务,”副主席维拉Jourova写道,负责的透明度值欧洲委员会。
内部市场专员蒂埃里布列塔尼人,最近采访了Twitter的所有者Elon Musk关于欧盟的规则之后,并没有直接引用该公司,但说,“这一点也不奇怪,质量差异很大程度根据资源公司分配给这个项目。”
报告指出,欧盟的部分自愿行为守则造谣,详细说明公司正努力减少错误信息的传播,推动机器人Covid-19等政治广告的数量被否决。Twitter签署遵守之前的代码麝香去年年底接管了公司,并同意每半年提交一份更新报告。
而公司不需要参与,而不是服从完全可以把Twitter在糟糕的跟踪与监管机构,特别是在公司准备实施广泛的内容审核规则在9月1日即将到来的数字服务行为。未能遵循DSA可以成本公司的罚款高达6%的年度收入,甚至促使欧盟委员会禁止一个平台。
Twitter几乎肯定会成为一个“非常大的在线平台,要求该公司地址有害内容并提交年度风险评估委员会。麝香的大规模裁员在Twitter——包括公司的《出埃及记》的整个布鲁塞尔办公室——担忧该公司能否做出必要的改变符合欧盟的规则。
寻求置评的电子邮件发送到Twitter的假情报报告的新闻邮件,但没有立即返回。
上任以来,麝香已经做了一些修改平台,改变的方式处理错误信息,包括消除其Covid-19错误政策和削减团队工作在这些问题上。
他犯了一个促进一种鲜为人知的、名叫社区笔记的功能,它要求核实志愿者添加更多上下文误导或错误消息,但目前的设计局限在政治极化的错误。
Twitter也结束免费获得自己的api,允许学术研究者研究公司。现在,研究人员可能必须支付来获取这些信息。
