In this way, the company seeks to address a problem that has grown due to the lack of employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These employees would be hired to moderate in a new headquarters in Austin, Texas<\/strong>, and there would be up to 100 positions open to work extensively on content moderation and ensure that user posts comply with the current policies and regulations in X<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Problems with illegal content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Bloomberg reports<\/a>, X wants to increase its workforce by a total of 100 people<\/strong> to strengthen the content moderation department, which is currently overwhelmed by the proliferation of illegal<\/strong>, harmful, or toxic content within the application. Harmful or toxic comments have always existed in the application, but the increase in harmful content<\/strong> is raising concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other types of illegal content, X is detecting a significant increase in the dissemination of content ranging from full movies and series to photos and videos of sexual abuse, child pornography, and explicit violence<\/strong>, among others. As reflected in the application’s policies, not only are these types of content often criminal offenses<\/strong>, but they also cannot be allowed within the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI’s and hate also wreak havoc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are the most serious problems regarding moderation<\/strong>, and the severity of the content that company employees will have to view when they have to discard such images or videos<\/strong> that may be seen in the application is clear. But there are more problems in this aspect, since hate speeches have also increased, and AI-generated content, such as deepfakes<\/em><\/a>, is also causing havoc on social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is evident that, in current times, Internet content can be very dangerous<\/strong> if there is no moderation or mediation by providers. Therefore, it remains to be seen if X will soon be able to make the content available within the application go through a more severe moderation and curation<\/strong> than before.<\/p>\n\n\n
