The European Commission (EC) is planning to “energetically” advance its probe into content moderation on X (formerly Twitter), potentially ordering changes at Elon Musk’s social network in the coming months, Bloomberg reported.
Since 2023, the EC has been investigating X for possible violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA). Notably, it’s the group’s first formal probe under the DSA, which requires very large online platforms to meet strict content moderation and transparency standards to ensure user safety, reduce misinformation, prevent illegal/harmful activity, and facilitate “a fair and open online platform environment.”
Bro…
The right wing/fascists are gaining seats and control everywhere while telling us to our faces what they want to do and all these centrist moderate fuckers can do is “plan to energetically advance a probe into a potential moderation”.
I hate this timeline as much as I hate them
The EU is the last major entity which has any chance of changing this timeline. The US government is fully compromised.
This is clearly why Elon Musk is attempting to interfere with Germany’s elections.
Not only Germany’s elections…
Something like 50% or almost that european countries have rising extreme right wing parties basically winning or almost winning everywhere. It’s not gonna be pretty.
Just put a block on Xitter in the EU, it’s shit anyway.
At this point if they just passed something like the US anti-tiktok law it would solve a lot of problems and they could say it was retaliatory. It would force facebook and X.com to sell its EU arm to a local company.
