X, Elon Musk’s social media platform, agrees to new commitments to the UK communications regulator Ofcom following an investigation into illegal hate speech and terrorist content. According to Ofcom and reporting based on the regulator’s statements, X will review reported material more quickly, with an average turnaround of within one day. The platform also commits to restricting content associated with UK-proscribed groups and to providing structured updates to Ofcom.
Ofcom describes the agreement as a set of operational and reporting commitments, including regular—quarterly—reporting to the regulator. While the commitments are part of the response to Ofcom’s probe, sources indicate that related scrutiny is not fully closed. Coverage notes that a separate or ongoing investigation relating to X and its systems, including the role of Grok, remains open.
Overall, both outlets describe X’s pledge to increase the speed and oversight of how it handles certain categories of illegal content in the UK, in line with Ofcom’s requirements, while regulatory processes continue.
