Armin Wolf reports Platform X to the public prosecutor

A user had operated an account under a false name and repeatedly insulted the ORF anchorman. The platform refused to delete the posts. According to a blog entry by Wolf published on Monday, X ignored a request from the Vienna Regional Criminal Court to disclose the user data. Requests to the European X headquarters in Ireland and later to the US judiciary were unsuccessful.

Now Wolf and Windhager are trying with a statement of facts to the public prosecutor's office, which - they hope - will charge X employees on suspicion of favoritism. There is a well-founded suspicion that unknown X employees are protecting a person who has committed a crime.

"I simply refuse to accept that X (formerly Twitter), one of the largest and most influential social media platforms in the world, not only ignores relevant laws in Austria and the EU but openly mocks them and evades justice," Wolf explained in his blog entry, which has already been reported by several media, as his motivation.
