European Union to accelerate investigation into social network X – Bloomberg

The European Union will accelerate the investigation into Elon Musk's social network X due to suspicions of violating the «Digital Services Act» (DSA).

This is reported by Bloomberg.

EU Digital Commissioner Henna Virkkunen and Justice Chief Michael McGrath confirmed in a letter to European lawmakers, which the publication has read, that the European Commission intends «as soon as possible, as legally possible» to draw conclusions in this case.

As the article notes, this indicates increasing attention to the social network X, which Musk uses to promote right-wing candidates around the world.

In particular, the billionaire has supported the leader of the far-right in Germany, Alice Weidel of the party «Alternative for Germany» (AfD) and plans to conduct a live interview with her on X on Thursday. The European Commission announced that it will check whether the algorithms of this social network are not being used to deliberately promote live broadcasts, which could potentially be a violation of the law.
