UK Study: X Ignored 95% of Racist Posts
The Spin
Left narrative
X is actively shielding extremists by ignoring over 95% of reported hate posts, letting slurs and threats against public figures go untouched. The platform only acts when content is flagged as illegal under the Online Safety Act, meaning everyday users reporting abuse get nowhere. Ofcom's voluntary commitments are a weak response to a platform that has made itself the most effective engine of hate crime in Britain.
Right narrative
The government is using Ofcom as a censorship tool to selectively target X while ignoring identical so-called hate speech issues on ChatGPT and Gemini. Meanwhile, thousands of people have been arrested for online speech, with some handed prison sentences for posts that no reasonable person would call incitement. Free speech laws that crumble under political pressure were never strong enough to begin with.
