August 1 – A group of Europe’s top broadcasters and leagues are demanding more action from social media platform X, formerly Twitter, against the distribution of illegal content.
A letter obtained by The Associated Press has 14 signatories, including the Premier League, Spanish league, Bundesliga, Italian league, DAZN, Sky, beIN, DirecTV and Movistar Plus+. UEFA and Conmebol also signed the letter.
The signatories “draw X’s immediate attention to its persistent failings in the fight against the availability of unlawful content on its platform and urgently call for a meeting with X’s representatives to address this unacceptable situation.”
“X’s approach to taking down unlawful live content notified to them is woefully insufficient and inadequate,” the letter to CEO Linda Yaccarino adds.
