X agrees to crack down on illegal hate and terror content in the UK

X has agreed to new UK online safety commitments with Ofcom to curb illegal hate speech and terrorist content.

The company will block access in the UK to certain terror-linked accounts and review most user reports within 48 hours.

X will also consult experts on its reporting systems and provide quarterly compliance data for the next year.

The deal raises the stakes for enforcement if X falls short of UK regulatory expectations.
