Report: X could be looking at $1B fine from EU over illicit content and misinformation


Report: X could be looking at $1B fine from EU over illicit content and misinformation - SiliconANGLE

The investigation, whose results are expected to be published sometime this summer, revolves around X being accused of allowing illicit content and disinformation to be promulgated through the platform. “EU officials said their investigation into X was progressing independently from tariff negotiations after Mr. Trump announced major new levies this week,” wrote the Times. Today, X’s global government affairs team said if the investigation and proposed fine is true, it “represents an unprecedented act of political censorship and an attack on free speech.” It added, “X has gone above and beyond to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act, and we will use every option at our disposal to defend our business, keep our users safe, and protect freedom of speech in Europe.”
