The European Commission recently fined Elon Musk‘s X for €120 million ($140 million), under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Musk’s response? Call for an abolition of the European Union.
On Dec. 5, X was found to have violated the Digital Services Act following a two-year investigation into the app’s blue tick. It’s claimed X uses a “deceptive design” for its blue-checkmark verification. Previously a sign of authenticity, it is now sold for a fixed monthly fee, raising questions about the authenticity of accounts.
