Elon Musk’s social media company X breached EU online content rules, EU regulators ruled on Friday, potentially leading to fines and operational changes. The European Commission’s seven-month investigation under the Digital Services Act (DSA) found X failed to tackle illegal content and public security risks. Issues include X’s dark patterns, lack of advertising transparency, and restricted data access for researchers. Verified accounts on X were also criticized for misleading users. If found guilty, X could face fines up to 6% of its global turnover. Similar investigations are ongoing for TikTok, AliExpress, and Meta Platforms.
