“Today we open formal infringement proceedings against @X” under the Digital Services Act, European Commissioner Thierry Breton said in a post on the platform Monday.
The European Union is looking into Musk’s X for potential violations of social media laws.
For the first time since the legislation intended to lessen the toxicity of online information went into effect, European Union authorities are investigating whether Elon Musk’s online platform X violated strict new social media standards.
The action, according to the bloc’s regulator, Thierry Breton, is in reaction to alleged transgressions by X of its duties to combat unlawful content and misinformation as well as transparency requirements.
The Digital Services Act balances concerns about freedom of expression with requirements for big internet platforms like X to reduce the risk of misinformation and implement strict measures to eradicate hate speech had an impact.
With the release of X’s “Community Notes” function earlier this year, users may now flag erroneous or misleading content in posts by leaving comments. This effectively crowdsources fact-checking, eliminating the need for a dedicated crew of fact-checkers.
The investigation will also look into several facets of the business, such as the data access that X offers to researchers.
