英国网络安全监管机构Ofcom表示,尽管X平台如今能更迅速地处理相关举报,但该机构依然担忧平台删除非法仇恨及恐怖主义内容的效果。
Britain’s online safety regulator, Ofcom, says it still has concerns about how well X removes illegal hate and terror content. This comes even though X is now reviewing these reports more quickly.
今年5月,X承诺平均在24小时内审核通过英国用户举报的违规内容,并确保至少85%的此类内容能在48小时内得到处理。根据Ofcom掌握的信息,X发布的首份季度报告显示其已达成上述目标,处理效率较年初有所提升。不过,Ofcom仍计划通过自行测试来验证这些数据的真实性。
In May, X promised to review posts reported through its UK illegal content tool within 24 hours on average. The company also said it would assess at least 85% of these posts within 48 hours. According to Ofcom, X’s first quarterly report shows that it is now meeting those targets and acting faster than it did earlier this year. Also, the regulator plans to check these figures with its own tests.
目前Ofcom仍担心X能否切实删除所有违规内容。此外,关于X是否如承诺那样与外部专家开展合作,各方反馈不一,相关分析预计将于明年年初出炉。
Still, Ofcom is concerned about whether X is actually removing illegal posts. They have also received mixed feedback on whether X is working with outside experts as promised, and more analysis is expected early next year.
此次通报还提及了Ofcom对X的调查情况:今年1月,有举报称X平台上的Grok聊天机器人被用于制作包括儿童在内的真实人物的色情深度伪造内容,由此引发了此次调查。
The update also included Ofcom’s investigation into X. The regulator began this case in January after reports that the Grok chatbot account on X was used to create sexual deepfakes of real people, including children.
Ofcom表示,接下来将判定X是否履行了保护英国民众免受非法内容侵害的法律义务。若认定其违规,监管机构将向X发出初步意见,随后X可针对该意见作出回应,最终裁决才会正式下达。
Ofcom said it will now decide if X has met its legal duties to protect people in the UK from illegal content. If they find that X has failed, it will send the company a provisional view, and X will have a chance to respond before a final decision is made.
调查期间,Ofcom发现部分仅允许成年人浏览的色情内容仍能被未通过年龄验证的账号访问。目前X已修复该漏洞,因此Ofcom后续将重点监督平台对非法内容的处置情况以及用户的举报机制。
During its investigation, Ofcom found that some age-restricted porn was still visible to accounts not verified as adults. X has now fixed this issue, so Ofcom will focus on illegal content and how users can report it.
原名为xAI的SpaceXAI也对其独立运营的Grok应用设置了使用限制:英国用户无法再通过该应用的图片工具浏览、制作或分享色情内容;其配套的‘Ani’等聊天机器人也禁止与英国用户进行涉及色情内容的对话。
SpaceXAI, formerly known as xAI, has also added limits to its standalone Grok app. People in the UK can no longer view, create, or share porn using its image tool. Its companion chatbots, like ‘Ani’, can no longer have sexual chats with UK users either.
与此同时,X在其他领域也面临诸多压力:英国一名议员已请求高等法院禁止Grok生成色情图像;爱尔兰媒体监管机构也正在就X平台的年龄验证机制展开调查。
Pressure on X is growing in other areas too. A UK lawmaker has asked the High Court to stop Grok from making sexual images, and Ireland’s media regulator is investigating X over age checks.
