European regulators have charged Elon Musk’s X with breaching the Digital Services Act, citing violations that include misleading users and lack of transparency. The European Commission issued preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act, highlighting X's non-compliance in key transparency areas.
The Commission accused X of using dark patterns to mislead users, failing to provide an adequate ad repository, and blocking access to data for researchers. Additionally, the company's approach to verified accounts was deemed deceptive, as anyone could obtain a 'verified' status, leading to misuse by malicious actors.
