EU Intensifies Scrutiny of Elon Musk's X Under Digital Services Act

The European Union demands detailed information from X on its reduced content moderation capabilities and the use of generative AI, signaling a deepening probe under stringent tech regulations.

The EU's investigation focuses on potential breaches by X, including cuts in content moderation staff and reduced language support.
Commission concerns include the impact of generative AI on electoral integrity and the spread of illegal content.
X faces potential fines up to 6% of its global annual turnover for non-compliance with the Digital Services Act.
The EU has set deadlines for X to respond to requests for further details on its moderation practices and AI risk assessments.
This probe builds on previous inquiries into X's transparency and its measures to combat misinformation.
