The European Union is intensifying its oversight of Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter), focusing on potential violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The EU is not investigating the acquisition of X by xAI.
The scrutiny centers on risk management, content moderation, deceptive design practices, advertising transparency, and data access. Concerns remain regarding potential non-compliance with the DSA, including issues related to the monetization of the platform's blue checkmark.
If violations are confirmed, fines could reach up to 6% of X's global annual turnover. The Commission's investigation is ongoing, and a decision regarding potential fines could be made in the coming months.
