The EU says it is launching "formal enforcement proceedings" against the social media platform.

The European Union has formally announced it suspects X, previously known as Twitter, of breaching its rules in areas including countering illegal content and disinformation.

Digital commissioner Thierry Breton set out the alleged infringements in a post on the social media platform.

He said X, which is owned by Elon Musk, was also suspected of breaching its obligations on transparency.

    Personally, I’d rather see “misinformation” than have anything censored. This at least gives you the power to infer what you want, and decide who the good and bad actors are

    Well that’s fucking idiotic! You’re acting like you’ve never encountered humans before, especially on the internet.

    Propaganda works, and not only on gullible and/or dumb people. That’s why there needs to be safeguards against dangerous lies like the ones of Musk, Trump, Hitler and other fascists with huge cult followings.
