The European Union has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s X to determine whether the platform may have breached the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas linked to risk management, content moderation, dark patterns, advertising transparency and data access for researchers.
The inquiry will focus on X’s compliance with DSA obligations related to countering the dissemination of illegal content in the EU; the effectiveness of its measures taken to combat information manipulation, such as Community Notes; the measures taken by X to increase transparency of its platform; and a “suspected deceptive design of the user interface” in relation to the blue checkmarks linked to certain subscription products.
