X CEO Linda Yaccarino: “Lawful But Awful” Content To Be Hidden...

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, addressed the company's stance on content moderation. She emphasized that while certain content might be "lawful," it doesn't necessarily align with the company's values or the expectations of its user base. Yaccarino stated, "Lawful But Awful" content, even if it doesn't violate any legal guidelines, will be hidden or de-prioritized on the platform.

This move underscores the company's commitment to fostering a positive and safe environment for its users. Yaccarino further elaborated that the decision aims to strike a balance between upholding freedom of expression and ensuring that harmful or misleading content doesn't gain prominence. The company will be rolling out more specific guidelines and tools to help creators understand and navigate this policy shift.
