Summary

The EU plans to fine Elon Musk’s X over $1 billion for violating the Digital Services Act by failing to control disinformation and illicit content.

This would mark the first major penalty under the new law and could trigger a legal clash with Musk, who vowed to fight in court.

Regulators say the fine aims to deter other platforms. Tensions with the U.S. are rising, as X also faces a broader investigation.

    The fascist isnt censoring peoples speech by force of the government, is that an oxymoron?

      I’m American I’m talking to Europeans and Canadians about how to avoid this situation before it’s too late….but also hoping it’s still a possibility that we can take some power back in the us as well. Gotta have some hope
