正在竞选英国下议院科学技术专责委员会主席的巴特勒透露,马斯克是她希望邀请作为证人的关键人物。
她强调了研究 X 和其他平台上的算法如何推广有害内容以及如何审核此类内容的重要性。
据报道,巴特勒表示:
“委员会必须正式审查在 X 和其他社交媒体平台上使用算法推送仇恨内容以及对此类内容进行审核的情况。”

巴特勒的倡议得到了工党议员、委员会主席竞争对手奇·奥努拉 (Chi Onwurah) 的支持,奥努拉也主张对社交媒体算法如何推动虚假信息和利润进行调查。

虽然议会委员会有权传唤个人,包括发出正式传票,但这一权力目前仅限于英国境内。
尽管不遵守规定可能导致藐视议会,但其影响很大程度上只是象征性的。
这种对社交媒体和错误信息的严格审查反映了全球对马斯克的影响力以及他的平台 X 上言论的政治影响的日益担忧。
马斯克在英国骚乱中扮演的角色
在南港发生一起悲惨的持刀袭击事件后,马斯克发现自己与英国政界人士产生了分歧,当时三名年轻女孩在一堂儿童舞蹈课上被杀。该事件引发了反移民骚乱。
Elon Musk had a gripe on over UK cracking down on people using the knife murder of 3 young girls as an excuse to riot over immigrationAnd yet not a peep from him as 4 people at a school gunned down in front of dozens of kids. There will be another soon.Maybe focus on this? pic.twitter.com/U5Gr5y1hwn

Musk's platform, X, played a pivotal role in spreading misinformation about the incident, with false claims that the attacker was a recently arrived asylum seeker in the UK.
This misinformation quickly went viral, fueling the riots and complicating efforts to restore order.
…and Nigel Farage started spreading disinformation that the attacker was an immigrant who had arrived to UK by boat in 2023. Elon quickly poured gas on the fire by criticizing the UK government for “suppressing free speech” after they arrested people provoking the riots.9/25 pic.twitter.com/sBhXCiF6Yl

Onwurah said:
“The really important points here are the way algorithms of platforms promote and amplify misinformation and the spreading of racial hatred, and how the platforms' business models rely on that.”
Musk's own inflammatory comments about the violence further intensified the situation.
British officials expressed frustration over X's resistance to removing posts deemed threats to national security during England's worst riots in over a decade.
Musk, in turn, has been embroiled in a public feud with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, even claiming that a "civil war is inevitable" in the UK and criticising the police response as "one-sided."
Elon Musk comments the UK riots to his 192 million followers:"Civil war is inevitable"As Elon is most probably completely oblivious about what's actually going on in the UK, this is EXTREMELY dangerous provocation and a direct attack against democracy. pic.twitter.com/EQI8MSFk5b

Both Butler and Onwurah, have pledged to hold Musk accountable.
Onuwurah said:
“The really important points here are the way algorithms of platforms promote and amplify misinformation and the spreading of racial hatred, and how the platforms' business models rely on that.”
Butler confirmed her intention to summon Musk if elected, emphasizing the need for accountability.
“Elon Musk suggested that ‘civil war’ was inevitable in response to false claims about the recent UK riots,” sparking a “diplomatic firestorm.” The British government has “condemned his actions, with one official complaining that Musk was ‘accountable to no one.’” 8/8/241/… pic.twitter.com/iiMffoRTYU

Onuwurah echoed this sentiment and expressed:
“The really important points here are the way algorithms of platforms promote and amplify misinformation and the spreading of racial hatred, and how the platforms' business models rely on that.”
Butler shared her own experience of reporting abusive messages on X, only to be told they didn't "reach the threshold" for removal.
She called for transparency in the platform's moderation process.
Musk has yet to respond to Butler's remarks.
马斯克可能会追随帕维尔杜罗夫的脚步吗?
继 Telegram 首席执行官帕维尔·杜罗夫(Pavel Durov)抵达巴黎后被法国当局逮捕,人们开始质疑,如果马斯克前往欧洲,特别是英国,他是否也会遭遇同样的命运。
当英国议员考虑传唤马斯克到议会作证时,人们不禁要问:马斯克是否会遵从请求,踏入潜在的敌对领土,还是会选择留在更安全的地方?
