X executive dodges questions about whether its algorithms favor far-right content

X: Users have an ability to steer content in the direction they want …any direction …eg you can toggle off political content.

A study that indicated Reform got amplified was based on three-year-old data and not valid today: X

However committee members did not press the executives today at the hearing (see below) about whether users can prefer Reform, Tories, Labour or Green politics for instance …I’ve not noticed that option on X, for instance

You can create custom timelines: X

“Our goal is to seek the truth”: X executive kept repeating this …sigh.

On deep fakes:

TikTok: deep fakes are not allowed to be made for private individuals, nor for public figures for selling products or to push political messaging (I think that’s what TikTok said)

No one pushed TikTok on what the cutoff is for a public vs private figure.

All three executives dodge question about how much money they are making from disinformation.
