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.
I would just outright ban all of this Nazis businesses
At this point in time absolutely. Plus a good old tar n feather session wouldn’t hurt
Start public and decentralized platforms and facist billionaire owned social media will correct in valuation along with its kings
Make it $10 billion. $1 billion is nothing to Elon Musk and X. Fine his Tesla swasticars company too for something.
This will impact the stock price. Tesla will lose more than the fine in total.
let’s see it.
It’s worth $33B isn’t it? Go higher please
“Worth” only according to its owner, who paid himself to buy it from himself under a different org. Good luck finding an outside investor willing to spend $30B on it now that it’s turned into a hate pool with a shit revenue stream
That’s not the point. That’s the value at which the deal was made. Fine him more.
Even a small hole can sink a ship
Twitter might as well be 4chan with how heavily I avoid that site now.
It’s worse. I’ve never actually avoided 4chan I just don’t go there. I actually avoid Twitter and have been for the past few years
Do it motherfuckers, I dare ya!
Only a matter of time until this guy buys Reddit.
I call it in 2026. So glad I’m out of that place.
Just block them completely
Let’s goooooooo
Make it per day and he might actually care.
… Doubling every day…
When are we going to learn that this doesn’t work.
Elon will make back that billion back in a short enough time that it won’t matter!
Start taking percentages of their income! Company needs to pay 30% of their revenue for ten years.
That’ll put the fear god in them!
That’ll put the fear god in them!
Did you mean “the fear of god” or are you polytheistic? Lol
Mhmm. Yes.
I’ll believe it when Musk’s check is in their bank and has cleared for payment.
The EU uses selective prosecution for political ambitions. We are all going to watch the trans-Atlantic relationship crumble.
Brother, did you just discover what politics are, you’re like a babe in the woods, grow up
What, and the US doesn’t? That last part is true, at least.
As if that wasn’t already in progress
I didn’t clarify that but yeah, it is. We’ve been watching it.
