X表示,已删除超过1.3万个涉及三起疑似外国影响行动的账号,这些行动针对美国政治辩论。该平台周三晚上在一篇帖子中将这些行动与伊朗、俄罗斯和中国关联起来。它表示,这些网络利用虚假账号发布和放大针对各政治光谱候选人和公众人物的政治内容。该声明发布于美国中期选举(11月3日)之前。

X says it has nuked more than 13,000 accounts involved in three suspected foreign influence operations targeting US political debate. In a post on Wednesday evening, the platform linked the operations to Iran, Russia, and China. It said the networks used inauthentic accounts to post and amplify political content targeting candidates and public figures across the political spectrum. The announcement comes ahead of the US midterm elections on November 3.

“人们来到X是为了谈论世界上发生的事情,包括即将到来的2026年美国中期选举,”该平台表示。“言论自由是正常运作民主的基石,我们很自豪X是这些辩论发生的全球城镇广场。我们的工作是让这些对话保持真实、开放和安全。”X未公开解释其归属背后的证据。

"People come to X to talk about what's happening in the world, including the upcoming 2026 US midterms," the platform said. "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and we are proud that X is the global town square where these debates happen. Our job is to keep that conversation authentic, open, and safe."

与此同时,该平台强调了其《公民诚信政策》,该政策涵盖关于如何、何时以及在哪里投票的误导信息,以及旨在劝阻参与的内容。在“公民诚信”下提交的报告将被转交为社区笔记的请求。X表示,它将 crowdsourced 功能与平台审核结合使用,并在关键情况下可能对违规帖子进行标注。社区笔记功能曾受到质疑。当欧盟委员会于2023年根据《数字服务法》对X启动正式程序时,它对该功能在验证帖子准确性方面的有效性提出了质疑。

X did not publicly explain the evidence behind its attribution. Separately, it highlighted its Civic Integrity policy, which covers misleading information about how, when, and where to vote, as well as content intended to discourage participation. Reports submitted under "Civic Integrity" are routed into requests for Community Notes. X says it uses the crowdsourced feature alongside platform moderation and may label policy-breaking posts in critical cases. Community Notes has faced scrutiny.

X依赖众包上下文的做法,是在马斯克收购Twitter之后,其审核团队出现裁员和高管离职之后形成的。外国影响行动不仅限于美国选举。英国国内安全局(MI5)局长肯·麦卡勒姆爵士(Sir Ken McCallum)本周表示,俄罗斯曾试图干预2016年英国脱欧公投,但警告不要将此视为其改变公投结果的证据。®

When the European Commission launched formal proceedings against X under the Digital Services Act in 2023, it raised questions about the feature's effectiveness for validating a post's accuracy. X's reliance on crowdsourced context follows layoffs and senior departures from its moderation teams after Musk acquired Twitter. Foreign influence campaigns aren't confined to US elections. MI5 chief Sir Ken McCallum said this week that Russia had attempted to interfere in the 2016 Brexit referendum, but cautioned against treating that as evidence it changed the result. ®
