A European regulator has issued Elon Musk a stern warning about the spread of illegal content and disinformation on X, formerly known as Twitter, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Failure to comply with the European regulations around illegal content could result in fines worth 6% of a company’s annual revenue.
Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, said in a letter addressed to Musk on Tuesday that his office has “indications” that groups are spreading misinformation and “violent and terrorist” content on X, and urged the billionaire to respond within a 24-hour period.
The letter comes after numerous researchers, news organizations and other groups have documented a rise of misleading, false and questionable content on X, creating confusion about the current conflict.
All billionaires are pieces of shit. Whatever you vehicle you decided to buy instead, you’re just supporting a different piece of shit billionaire.
You just feel better about it because you don’t hear about them in the news every day.
Sure. Whatever. I’m certainly glad to have my Civic.
Sounds like you just weren’t ready for an EV
No. I’d buy an affordable 2 door now if that were an option.
Musk sucks balls either way.
It’s kinda like voting. Often, the choices are bad vs. worse.
If some billionaire generally keeps to himself but is a nightmare for his staff and personal assistant to deal with, then sure, he’s a piece of shit. Musk goes out of his way to negatively influence society, mistreat his employees at all of his businesses, and encourage terrible behavior in others. He’s a much bigger piece of shit.
One choice is bad, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to make an even worse choice.
