The European Union initiates formal proceedings against X, owned by Elon Musk, citing potential breaches of Digital Services Act rules. The allegations involve countering illegal content, disinformation, and transparency obligations. X asserts cooperation with regulatory processes, emphasizing the importance of a non-political and lawful investigation. The Digital Services Act introduces stringent regulations, allowing substantial fines or suspension for major tech firms failing to protect users from extreme content. The investigation, the first under the DSA, follows prior EU scrutiny of X over the spread of terrorist content and hate speech.
