The EU has ordered Elon Musk to remove disinformation about the Israel-Hamas conflict from X (formerly Twitter) within 24 hours or risk being fined.
In a letter to Musk, EU commissioner Thierry Breton urged X to fall in line with the bloc’s sweeping new laws on fake news. The platform must be transparent about permissible content, hastily remove infringing posts — particularly terrorist and violent material — and effectively deal with disinformation, Mr Breton wrote.
