Musk has big problems: European Union launches investigation into social network X

The case is based on an analysis of risk assessment reports submitted by Company

The European Commission has stated that it is in the early stages of gathering evidence and that this process may take longer as the DSA has not set a specific deadline for the formal examination of the case.

Anyway, what happened?

In mid-October, the regulator’s representative Thierry Breton officially addressed the social networks X, Meta and TikTok, urging them to be wary of misinformation and offensive posts. He warned that fines could be imposed once an investigation is launched and violations are identified.

As part of the investigation, the European Commission will examine X’s “deceptive user interface design” and, in particular, controversial “blue flags” that indicate an account is verified when it is not.

It’s worth noting that social network X’s representative declined to comment on the matter.

Regulators appear to be fed up with Elon Musk’s so-called games on free speech. The platform is currently subject to scrutiny and investigations in the EU regarding its transparency, misinformation and user data practices.
