-- The European Union is preparing to fine Elon Musk's X platform over alleged breaches of the bloc's Digital Services Act, the New York Times reports, citing unnamed sources.
-- The European Commission is expected to fine X and issue a list of demands for product changes, according to the NYT. The EU executive started investigating X in 2023 under the bloc's landmark digital platform regulation, which asks companies to address misinformation and illegal content.
-- The fine could surpass $1 billion, in a move aimed at deterring other companies from flouting the DSA, according to an unnamed source, the NYT said.
-- A commission spokesperson told NYT that the EU enforces fairly and without discrimination on all companies operating in the bloc. X declined to comment to the NYT. After the story was published, the company said in an X post that it would use every option at its disposal to defend the business, calling the move an attack on free speech.
