EU takes action against Elon Musk X over disinformation | BBC News
Elon Musk has accused the European Commission of offering X an “illegal secret deal if we quietly censored speech” after his platform became the first to breach the European Union (EU) Digital Services Act.
X, formerly Twitter, was convicted today in an interim ruling for violating the new law.
The committee's hearing, to which X can respond before making a final ruling, concluded that X “misled” users by designing and operating its “verified accounts” interface with the “blue checkmark,” a change implemented when Musk took over the platform.
