X AGREES TO BLOCK UK ACCESS TO TERRORIST ACCOUNTS

X will implement the restrictions as part of broader commitments to tackle terrorist and hate content on the platform. The social media company has agreed to review suspected illegal material within two days of reports and will seek expert guidance when handling user-flagged content. Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, announced the commitments following discussions with the platform. The measures aim to prevent terrorist organizations from using X to spread propaganda, recruit members, or coordinate activities. The agreement marks a significant step in X's content moderation efforts following previous scrutiny over how the platform handles extremist material. Under the terms, X must also cooperate with UK authorities on terrorism-related investigations. The platform has faced increased pressure from regulators worldwide to improve content moderation practices, particularly regarding illegal content and material that violates local laws.
