The European Commission launched a formal investigation into X, Elon Musk’s social media platform, for alleged breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA) over inadequate content moderation.
The probe, announced on September 16, 2025, focuses on X’s handling of hate speech and misinformation, particularly during recent EU elections.
Preliminary findings suggest X failed to remove 15% of flagged illegal content within mandated timelines.
Fines could reach 6% of X’s global revenue, estimated at $3 billion annually.
Musk defended X on the platform, claiming censorship threats undermine free speech.
EU regulators, led by Thierry Breton, argue robust moderation protects democracy.
X users on the platform debated, with some accusing the EU of overreach and others demanding accountability.
The investigation follows similar DSA actions against Meta and TikTok.
Reuters reported the story, noting potential impacts on X’s European operations and Musk’s broader tech ventures.
A decision is expected by mid-2026, with X pledging to cooperate while challenging certain claims.
