二 | LONDON -- The European Commission on Thursday made a formal, legally binding request for information from Elon Musk's social media platform X over its handling of hate speech, misinformation and violent terrorist content related to the Israel-Hamas war.It is the first step in what could become the EU's inaugural investigation under the Digital Services Act, in this case to determine if the site formerly known as Twitter is in compliance with the tough new rules meant to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content.San Francisco-based X has until Wednesday to respond to questions related to how its crisis response protocol is functioning. Responses to other questions must be received by Oct. 31. The commission said its next steps, which could include the opening of formal proceedings and penalties, would be determined by X's replies.Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The company's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, said earlier that the site has removed hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts and taken down or labeled tens of thousands of pieces of content since the militant group's attack on Israel. One social media expert called the actions “a drop in the bucket."Yaccarino on Thursday outlined steps taken by X to combat illegal content flourishing on the platform. She was responding to an earlier letter from a top European Union official for information on how X is complying with the EU's new digital rules during the Israel-Hamas war. That letter, which essentially served as a warning, was not legally binding — the latest one, however, is. “X is proportionately and effectively assessing and addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis,” Yaccarino said in a letter to European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the 27-nation bloc's digital enforcer.But some say the efforts are not nearly enough to tackle the problem.“While these actions are better than nothing, it is not enough to curtail the misinformation problem on X,” said Kolina Koltai, a researcher at the investigative collective Bellingcat who previously worked at Twitter on Community Notes. “There is an overwhelming amount of misinformation on the platform," Koltai said. "From what we have seen, the moderation efforts from X are only addressing a drop in the bucket.” Since the war erupted, photos and videos have flooded social media of the carnage, including haunting footage of Hamas fighters taking terrified Israelis hostage, alongside posts from users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events. The conflict is one of the first major tests for the EU’s groundbreaking digital rules, which took effect in August. Breton fired off a similar letter Thursday to TikTok, telling CEO Shou Zi Chew that he has a “particular obligation” to protect child and teen users from “violent content depicting hostage taking and other graphic videos” reportedly making the rounds on the video sharing app. For X, changes that Musk has made to the platform since he bought it last year mean accounts that subscribe to X's blue-check service can get paid if their posts go viral, creating a financial incentive to post whatever gets the most reaction. Plus, X's workforce — including its content moderation team — has been gutted.Those changes are running up against the EU's Digital Services Act, which forces social media companies to step up policing of their platforms for illegal content, such as terrorist material or illegal hate speech, under threat of hefty fines. “There is no place on X for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real time, including proactive efforts,” Yaccarino wrote in the letter posted to X.X has taken action to “remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content,” Yaccarino said, pointing out that there are 700 unique Community Notes — a feature that allows users to add their own fact-checks to posts — "related to the attacks and unfolding events." The platform has been “responding promptly” and in a “diligent and objective manner” to takedown requests from law enforcement agencies from around the world, including more than 80 from EU member states, Yaccarino said. Koltai, the researcher and former Twitter employee, said Community Notes are not an “end-all solution to curtailing misinfo” and that there are gaps that the feature just can't fill yet.“There are still many videos and photos on X that don’t have notes that are unmoderated, and continue to spread misleading claims,” she said. Since Musk acquired Twitter and renamed it, social-media watchers say the platform has become not just unreliable but actively promotes falsehoods, while a study commissioned by the EU found that it's the worst-performing platform for online disinformation. Rivals such as TikTok, YouTube and Facebook also are coping with a flood of unsubstantiated rumors and falsehoods about the Middle Eastern conflict, playing the typical whack-a-mole that erupts each time a news event captures world attention.Breton, the EU official, urged TikTok's leader to step up its efforts at tackling disinformation and illegal content and respond within 24 hours. The company did not reply immediately to an email seeking comment. Breton's warning letters have also gone to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta. —AP Technology Writer Barbara Ortutay in Oakland, California, contributed to this report.。”尼泊尔驻华大使施雷斯塔近日接受了环球时报-环球网记者的采访。他在谈及中尼跨境铁路时表示,如果有这样一条铁路,尼泊尔人民将从中大受裨益。8月11日,中国外交部发言人汪文斌在例行记者会上表示:在中尼外长会谈中,双方一致表示将构建跨喜马拉雅立体互联互通网络。王毅国务委员兼外长宣布,中方将使用对尼援款支持中尼跨境铁路可行性研究,年内派专家赴尼开展踏勘。

三 | 这意味着,酝酿已久的穿越喜马拉雅山的超级工程即将启动踏勘。施雷斯塔本月初在接受环球时报-环球网记者采访时曾表示,“可行性研究意味着该项目已经开启,如果研究结果显示可行,料将很快看到该项目的落地。”在此次接受采访时,施雷斯塔表示,如果有这样一条跨境铁路,中国可以从尼泊尔进口更多的商品,尼泊尔从中国采购的众多商品物资也都可以快速运回,尤其是那些易腐烂的水果。

四 | 施雷斯塔对记者说,这样一条铁路连接中国和尼泊尔两国,会让许多事情成为可能,将更进一步推进两国的友好往来。中国是尼泊尔重要的投资来源国。

五 | 中国商务部的数据显示,截至2019/2020财年底,尼泊尔累计吸收外资来源地排名中,中国(大陆)排名第一。水电站、水泥厂、饲料厂、 家具厂、航空、餐饮、宾馆、矿产等行业都有中资企业的参与。

六 | 对此,施雷斯塔表示,中国在尼泊尔各方面的投资项目,使尼泊尔人民以不同的方式受益。他说,“投资项目创造了就业机会,带来了经济更多的发展;基建道路项目让人们的生活变得方便,尼泊尔人民的生活因此得到了改善。”7月,由中国电建承建的被誉为尼泊尔“三峡工程”的最大水电站——上塔马克西水电站首台机组实现并网发电,大大推动尼泊尔2024年实现100%电力供应的目标。

七 | 另外,尼泊尔还有多个中企参与的水电站正在建设中。施雷斯塔表示,有了电力,尼泊尔很多“可能”就会成为现实,中国企业的投资建设对尼泊尔发展经济非常有帮助。他表示,“目前,尼泊尔正在尝试使用电动汽车,也尝试使用电烤箱等电器。

八 | 水力发电为尼泊尔提供了基本条件,让我们的生活更容易和便捷。”返回搜狐,查看更多责任编辑:
