Today, Amnesty International have shared their report into X's part in the UK 'Race Riots' last year.
Unsurprisingly, their findings highlighted that the design choices within X contributed to spreading of false claims and ultimately the violence we saw across the UK last year against Muslims and migrants following the murder of two young girls.
Please, take a look at the report here and share it with your friends who still, solely, use X.

Europe needs its own social media platforms to safeguard sovereignty
"This study examines whether German X users would see politically balanced news feeds if they followed comparable leading politicians from each federal parliamentary party of Germany. We address this question using an algorithmic audit tool and all publicly available posts published by 436 German politicians on X. We find that the default feed of X showed more content from far-right AfD than from other political parties."
