Despite US intervention, the EU Commission is sticking with a million-dollar fine against X

Despite the US government's support for Elon Musk, the EU Commission would like to continue with a court case for a million-dollar fine against Platform X. "We have a very valid case," said a spokesman for the EU Commission. "The commission is of course absolutely prepared to defend its position in court."

In December, the EU Commission imposed a fine of 120 million euros on X on the basis of the Digital Services Act. The reason for this is the lack of transparency in advertising and user accounts, which are marked with a blue and white tick. The US government recently sided with X owner Elon Musk. The Ministry of Justice there announced that it had applied to the responsible EU court to join Musk's complaint against the penalty.
