EU Expands Investigation Into Elon Musk's X Over Digital Services Act Compliance
Jan 17, 2025, 11:42 AM
The European Union has expanded its investigation into X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, over concerns that it may have breached the EU's content moderation rules. The European Commission has taken additional technical measures in the ongoing investigation, focusing on X's recommender systems and their compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Commission has requested internal documentation on these systems and any recent changes, with a deadline set for February 15, 2025. Furthermore, a retention order has been issued to preserve internal documents related to future changes to X's recommender algorithms until December 31, 2025. The investigation follows allegations that X has been spreading false information and manipulating public debate in Europe, exacerbated by Musk's recent provocative statements.
