    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ever since the Israel-Hamas conflict began last month, misinformation has been running rampant on social media, with X being one of the main forums.

    One expert previously told Insider that Elon Musk is to blame for the proliferation of misinformation on X due to the changes he made.

    One of these changes included a major cut to X’s trust and safety team, from 230 to 20 people, as reported by Insider’s Kali Hays.

    In the week following Elon Musk’s takeover, the Center for Countering Hate found that antisemitic slurs were posted at a 22% higher rate.

    The day before the tweet, in an October 27 blog post, Yaccarino asserted that safety is a “critical priority” for the X team.

    She also said the team is still working to “combat bad actors and consistently enforce our rules in areas such as hate speech, platform manipulation, child safety, impersonation, civic integrity, and more.”
