European Commission member Thierry Breton penned a letter to Elon Musk regarding his X Space conversation with Donald Trump Monday night. “With great audience comes greater responsibility,” Breton said. “As there is a risk of amplification of potentially harmful content in in connection with events with major audience around the world, I sent this letter to @elonmusk,” he added. “I am writing to you in the context of recent events in the United Kingdom and in relation to the planned broadcast on your platform X of a live conversation between a US presidential candidate and yourself, which will also be accessible to users in the EU,” the letter read. “I understand that you are currently doing a stress test of the platform. In this context, I am compelled to remind you of the due diligence obligations set out in the Digital Services Act (DSA), as outlined in my previous letter. As the individual entity ultimately controlling a platform with over 300 million users worldwide, of which one third in the EU, that has been designated as a Very Large Online Platform, you have the legal obligation to ensure X’s compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA in the EU,” it continued.

JUST IN – EU Commission has opened formal proceedings against Elon Musk's platform X under the Digital Services Act, citing "disinformation, illegal content, deceptive design." — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 18, 2023 Per CBS News: The European Union said Friday that blue checkmarks from Elon Musk’s X are deceptive and that the online platform falls short on transparency and accountability requirements, in the first charges against a tech company since the bloc’s new social media regulations took effect. The European Commission outlined the preliminary findings from its investigation into X, formerly known as Twitter, under the 27-nation bloc’s Digital Services Act. The rulebook, also known as the DSA, is a sweeping set of regulations that requires platforms to take more responsibility for protecting their European users and cleaning up harmful or illegal content and products on their sites, under threat of hefty fines. Regulators took aim at X’s blue checks, saying they constitute “dark patterns” that are not in line with industry best practice and can be used by malicious actors to deceive users.

The charges by the European Commission, the first issued under the Digital Services Act, follow a seven-month-long investigation https://t.co/T8ffpPWkpb pic.twitter.com/IdJYk6dacc — Reuters Legal (@ReutersLegal) July 13, 2024 Elon Musk is scheduled to have a conversation with Donald Trump on the platform Monday night at 8:00 p.m. ET. “President Trump is asking you to like this post.
