X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, has been facing waves of criticism over how it has, under owner Elon Musk, grappled with issues of trust and safety. Today, the company, which said it now has over 500 million monthly visitors to its platform, published some figures and updates on how it’s been coping with one major test case of all that: the Israel-Hamas war.

To be clear, figures put out by X have no outside vetting to verify how accurate they are, and X provides no comparative internal numbers to speak to the overall size of the problem. Still, it is notable that X, which is now a privately-held company, feels compelled to publish anything at all. That speaks to the company’s continuing efforts to play nice as it continues to try to court advertisers.
