a research article in June asserting that X allowed explicitly racist and homophobic posts despite policies to the contrary, even days after they'd been reported.
X accused CCDH of using poor methodology, and not studying the 500 million posts on the service each day. It also maintained that the Center was taking funding from competitors or foreign governments as part of an"ulterior agenda,". CCDH rejects the allegations. It notes that it never claimed to be conducting a comprehensive study, and points to its documented methodology.

The platform recently institutedin what it says is a temporary measure to thwart excessive data scraping. The company believes some scrapers are abusing their tools to train AI models and conduct manipulation campaigns.
X has disbanded its communications team and isn't available for comment. CCDH says it"will not be bullied" and will continue publishing its research. It also intends to post the original letter, and believes a lawsuit with"frivolous" claims could prove risky.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
