一 | 每日商报讯 出门等公交，对不少不擅长摆弄智能手机的老年人来说，总像在开“盲盒”，要么顶着烈日或大雨在站台干熬，要么刚转身离开，就眼睁睁看着班车从眼前溜走，白白耽误十几分钟。 LONDON -- The European Commission on Thursday made a formal, legally binding request for information from Elon Musk's social media platform X over its handling of hate speech, misinformation and violent terrorist content related to the Israel-Hamas war.It is the first step in what could become the EU's inaugural investigation under the Digital Services Act, in this case to determine if the site formerly known as Twitter is in compliance with the tough new rules meant to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content.San Francisco-based X has until Wednesday to respond to questions related to how its crisis response protocol is functioning. Responses to other questions must be received by Oct. 31. The commission said its next steps, which could include the opening of formal proceedings and penalties, would be determined by X's replies.Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The company's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, said earlier that the site has removed hundreds of Hamas-linked accounts and taken down or labeled tens of thousands of pieces of content since the militant group's attack on Israel. One social media expert called the actions “a drop in the bucket."Yaccarino on Thursday outlined steps taken by X to combat illegal content flourishing on the platform. She was responding to an earlier letter from a top European Union official for information on how X is complying with the EU's new digital rules during the Israel-Hamas war. That letter, which essentially served as a warning, was not legally binding — the latest one, however, is. “X is proportionately and effectively assessing and addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis,” Yaccarino said in a letter to European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the 27-nation bloc's digital enforcer.But some say the efforts are not nearly enough to tackle the problem.“While these actions are better than nothing, it is not enough to curtail the misinformation problem on X,” said Kolina Koltai, a researcher at the investigative collective Bellingcat who previously worked at Twitter on Community Notes. “There is an overwhelming amount of misinformation on the platform," Koltai said. "From what we have seen, the moderation efforts from X are only addressing a drop in the bucket.” Since the war erupted, photos and videos have flooded social media of the carnage, including haunting footage of Hamas fighters taking terrified Israelis hostage, alongside posts from users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events. The conflict is one of the first major tests for the EU’s groundbreaking digital rules, which took effect in August. Breton fired off a similar letter Thursday to TikTok, telling CEO Shou Zi Chew that he has a “particular obligation” to protect child and teen users from “violent content depicting hostage taking and other graphic videos” reportedly making the rounds on the video sharing app. For X, changes that Musk has made to the platform since he bought it last year mean accounts that subscribe to X's blue-check service can get paid if their posts go viral, creating a financial incentive to post whatever gets the most reaction. Plus, X's workforce — including its content moderation team — has been gutted.Those changes are running up against the EU's Digital Services Act, which forces social media companies to step up policing of their platforms for illegal content, such as terrorist material or illegal hate speech, under threat of hefty fines. “There is no place on X for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real time, including proactive efforts,” Yaccarino wrote in the letter posted to X.X has taken action to “remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content,” Yaccarino said, pointing out that there are 700 unique Community Notes — a feature that allows users to add their own fact-checks to posts — "related to the attacks and unfolding events." The platform has been “responding promptly” and in a “diligent and objective manner” to takedown requests from law enforcement agencies from around the world, including more than 80 from EU member states, Yaccarino said. Koltai, the researcher and former Twitter employee, said Community Notes are not an “end-all solution to curtailing misinfo” and that there are gaps that the feature just can't fill yet.“There are still many videos and photos on X that don’t have notes that are unmoderated, and continue to spread misleading claims,” she said. Since Musk acquired Twitter and renamed it, social-media watchers say the platform has become not just unreliable but actively promotes falsehoods, while a study commissioned by the EU found that it's the worst-performing platform for online disinformation. Rivals such as TikTok, YouTube and Facebook also are coping with a flood of unsubstantiated rumors and falsehoods about the Middle Eastern conflict, playing the typical whack-a-mole that erupts each time a news event captures world attention.Breton, the EU official, urged TikTok's leader to step up its efforts at tackling disinformation and illegal content and respond within 24 hours. The company did not reply immediately to an email seeking comment. Breton's warning letters have also gone to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta. —AP Technology Writer Barbara Ortutay in Oakland, California, contributed to this report.。
二 | 这一困扰成了不少银发族的出行痛点，如今有了接地气的解法——杭州公交创新推出 的“电子站牌进社区”新模式，让老年朋友足不出小区，在家门口就能掌握就近公交的全部动态。
三 | 昨天下午，记者赶到率先试点的铭元北城枫景园，走进小区东南门旁的“乐享幸福里”活动室，抬头便能见到墙上挂着的公交发车预告屏，白马庄街华鹤街口站途经的5条核心线路正实时滚动——车辆编号、行驶方向、下一班时间，所有信息一目了然。活动室驻点工作人员王海告诉记者，这块前天才正式投用的屏幕，恰好戳中了小区老年居民最在意的出行痛点，“公交站牌离活动室不过几步路，只要盯着屏幕掐点出门，再也不会错过车了。而且屏幕设计上也做了‘减法’，不像手机App那样信息繁杂，只聚焦社区周边最常用的几条线，字体和界面也都照顾老年人的阅读习惯。
四 | ”据王海介绍，活动室每天上午八点半开放至下午五点，正好覆盖了老人们买菜、遛弯、走亲访友的高峰时段，“加上最近天热，来屋里等车的人明显多了，大家一边盯着屏幕一边唠家常，以前那种怕赶不上车的焦虑，一下子淡了不少。”居民许奶奶也是这里的常客，她笑着说，“以前只能去站台瞎等，大热天晒得头晕，现在出门前瞅一眼屏幕，车快到了再迈腿，两步路就到站，太方便了。
五 | ”在杭州市公交集团客运管理部副经理吴俊眼中，这块屏幕还有不一样的含义。他告诉记者，杭州公交正持续优化线路和运力调配，今年则进一步把服务重心向老年群体倾斜，着力解决“候车久”“到站步行远”等现实难题。“电子站牌进社区”正是“公交安心达”整体方案的关键一环，目的就是为夏季高温天里等车的老年人纾困。
六 | 当然，从想法到落地并非一蹴而就。据吴俊回忆，“公交安心达”方案早在年初便开始部署，4月份正式启动专项调研。期间除了社区业委会审批，还经历多部门协同选址等流程，最终形成了一套配套的选址方案——将根据各个小区凉亭、活动中心、纳凉点等不同场地条件灵活调整安装点位。
七 | 铭元北城枫景园之所以能够成为首个试点，正是因为这里老年人口密集，且业委会高效配合，最终快速落地实施。记者了解到，这次的尝试只是个开始。按照规划，大关、德胜、小河街道等多个点位已进入施工推进阶段，预计8月可陆续完成电子站牌进社区的布置。后续，杭州公交还将因地制宜灵活拓展布设场景，稳步扩大服务覆盖范围，让更多市民在家门口就能享受到省心、舒适的公交候车服务。
