Twitter Says Removed More Content in First Half of 2022 Than in Previous Six Months
Twitter removed over 6.5 million pieces of content in H1 2022, an increase of 29% from H2 2021, before being taken over by Elon Musk. This comes as the European Union introduces new regulations requiring tech companies to share data, tackle disinformation and conduct auditing. Failure to comply could result in hefty fines or even a ban from operating in the EU. Twitter's compliance with legal requests from governments during H1 2022 has not been disclosed.
