Elon Musk's X Battles EU Over Censorship, Faces Millions in Fines
Jul 21, 2024, 07:00 AM
Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is embroiled in a contentious battle with the European Union (EU) over issues of censorship and free speech. Musk has accused the EU of offering him a 'secret deal' to censor users on X to avoid millions of pounds worth of fines. Despite Musk's initial pledge to comply with future European regulations, tensions have escalated, with Musk publicly challenging the EU's censorship policies. The EU's crackdown on online free speech is seen as part of a broader effort to control information and suppress dissent, with X remaining a significant platform for relatively free information flow. Additionally, X is testing a new feature allowing users to request Community Notes on misleading posts, continuing its evolution of the fact-checking service originally launched as Twitter's Birdwatch. This ongoing battle highlights the influence of power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats in the EU.
