In the UK, ruling Labour MP Dawn Butler has announced plans to have X owner Elon Musk over, as “a witness” to be questioned in the country’s parliament about his social platform.
Misinformation, and the spread thereof, probably to the surprise of precisely nobody, is what this is all about. Butler seems to be laboring under the impression that X might be guilty.
Butler told the Financial Times that it is “vital for the committee to formally examine the use of algorithms in pushing hateful material” and the moderation of such content.”
While noting that this pertains to “other” social platforms as well, she only named, thus singled out, X.
Butler is currently vying to become the chair of the parliamentary Science and Technology Select Committee, so the initiative is a part of her campaign. It’s not clear if this gives Butler any edge over her fellow Labour MP who is her main contender – because Chi Onwurah agrees on that point.
Speaking for Politico , Onwurah parroted the point about algorithms and “hateful” content, adding her own thoughts that this could be used to spread “racial hatred” in particular.
