Britain's online safety regulator remains concerned about how effectively X removes illegal hate and terror content, even though the platform now reviews reports faster. According to The Economic Times, X has submitted its first quarterly report describing its moderation approach. Ofcom is also examining X's compliance with illegal content rules and its age verification processes.

  • In May, X promised to review UK illegal content reports within 24 hours on average.
  • X is now reviewing reported posts more quickly, The Next Web says.
