From EU To Apple: Tech Giants Halt Ads On Elon Musk's X Amid Rising Hate Speech

The European Union is currently withdrawing its advertisements from Elon Musk's X, citing a concerning rise in hate speech and disinformation on the platform.

Reportedly, X has been accused of propagating a tidal wave of antisemitism, Islamophobia and misinformation amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

Apart from the EU, a cascade of other major technology and media companies, like Apple, IBM and Disney had made a similar announcement of pausing ads on the platform, last week.

Following the report gaining attention, Musk filed a lawsuit against the non-profit organisation, accusing it of defamation against the platform.
