Study finds X algorithm recommends explicit content to minors

A study found X, Elon Musk's social media platform, exposes children as young as 13 to graphic pornography and direct sexual contact from adults. Researchers created 13-year-old accounts and found X's algorithm recommended explicit content, and safeguards against unsolicited messages were easily bypassed, leading to exposure to sexual acts and grooming risks. The findings raise concerns about X's compliance with the UK's Online Safety Act, with regulators already investigating the platform for other safety issues.
