X disables automatic translations for Hebrew posts due to policy violations

BREAKING: X has disabled automatic translations for Hebrew posts due to concerns that these translations frequently amplified inflammatory content and violated platform policies, including calls for violence.

The decision comes in response to ongoing issues with the translation feature, which has been criticized for its role in disseminating harmful messages. This move reflects a growing trend among social media platforms to address the challenges of moderating content across different languages.

As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in various contexts, prompting discussions about the responsibilities of tech companies in managing user-generated content. In related coverage, the EU has also taken steps to regulate online speech through initiatives like the "Democracy Shield" aimed at policing speech and suppressing dissent.

The disabling of automatic translations for Hebrew posts marks a significant shift in X"s approach to content moderation and highlights the complexities of ensuring safe communication on social media platforms.
