Chamber Of Progress Urges Elon Musk To Take X Leadership Seriously Or Resign Amid Social Media-Fueled Violence
The Chamber of Progress, a tech business advocacy group, is calling on billionaire Elon Musk to take his leadership role at X more seriously or resign if he cannot do so. The group’s urging comes amid growing concerns over social media-fueled violence and hatred, particularly in the wake of far-right riots in the UK.
Since July 29, dozens of riots have erupted across the nation, fueled by false claims on social media platforms that blamed the stabbing murder of three children on Muslims and asylum-seeking immigrants. Groups like the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and Amnesty International have blamed posts on social media services such as X, Telegram, and TikTok for amplifying racial hatred and inciting violent unrest.
The UK government has also weighed in, with Justice Minister Heidi Alexander urging Musk to behave more responsibly following his comment that “civil war is inevitable” in response to a post about the violence. Ofcom, the UK telecom regulator, has published an open letter advising online service providers of their obligations to prevent their platforms from being used to promote violence and hatred.
Ofcom’s regulations require UK-based video-sharing platforms to protect users from videos likely to incite violence or hatred. The regulator expects platforms to ensure their systems and processes are effective in anticipating and responding to the potential spread of harmful video material.
The Chamber of Progress is joining the chorus calling for Musk to moderate his speech and his platform. In a letter, Kayvan Hazemi-Jebelli, senior director for the Chamber of Progress in Europe, calls on Musk to consider the impact of his words and actions. “The recent far-right race riots in the UK… highlight the moral duty of each individual using these platforms, especially those with hundreds of millions of followers like yourself, to act responsibly,” the letter says.
The group’s urging comes as X faces criticism for being less responsive than other social media platforms to flagged posts. According to The Financial Times, X has been slower to respond to social media posts flagged by the UK’s National Security Online Information Team. Additionally, the Online Safety Act, which comes into force next year, may not be sufficient to tackle anti-immigration lies on social media.
