“My office and I will be very vigilant for violations of DSA legislation,” Breton wrote to Musk. “We will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal, such as taking temporary measures to protect European citizens from serious harm.”
The so-called Digital Services Act (DSA) requires all platforms to identify problematic content, such as incitement to violence, hatred or racism. Illegal content must also be removed or made accessible as soon as possible, as soon as the platform becomes aware of it. After Musk bought Twitter in 2022, he implemented a large series of layoffs among the teams responsible for modeling the social network.
Bretannais talks to Musk in response to the recent riots in the United Kingdom. After news of the country’s most violent unrest, the tech billionaire said “civil war is inevitable.” He said the violence was a result of “mass migration and open borders”.
In December of last year, Europe opened an investigation on X on suspicion that they did not meet obligations in the fight against disinfection.
