The European Commission has suspended publicity on X (formerly Twitter) over increases in disinformation and hate speech on the social media platform.
While the spokesman would not comment on the specific reasons why they had chosen to pause advertisements, he said that the change in guidance was recent.
The announcement came after the US nonprofit organisation Media Matters found that X had placed adverts for major brands such as Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content.
Noyb claims that the Commission targeted users based on political views and religious beliefs, showing adverts to people who weren’t interested in keywords like Brexit, #Qatargate, Marine Le Pen, Vox, Christian, and Giorgia Meloni among others.
Bahrke said, however, that the new guidance wasn’t directly related to the spending and buying by the directorate general cited in the complaint.
A recent report found that X, which was acquired by Elon Musk last year, had failed to remove hate speech and misinformation from the platform.
