The EU says it is launching "formal enforcement proceedings" against the social media platform.

The European Union has formally announced it suspects X, previously known as Twitter, of breaching its rules in areas including countering illegal content and disinformation.

Digital commissioner Thierry Breton set out the alleged infringements in a post on the social media platform.

He said X, which is owned by Elon Musk, was also suspected of breaching its obligations on transparency.

    I’d love a world like that too, and I think most people would. There’s just too many different cultures and opposing views that we won’t be able to have just a single truth though. Like the Palestine vs Israel stuff for example.

    It’d be very dangerous if there was a small governing body of people that gets to decide what’s truth and what isn’t. Maybe if we could figure that out openly, with the public, and have it decentralized and no singular group could control a narrative, maybe we’d inch closer to that ideal

      I dont mean going as far as a “Department of Truth”, but there is a line that needs to be enforced. A wrong opinion is not necessarily misinformation. A single person stating a wrong fact as true ia not a dramatic offense in a small context.

      News shows telling the public a lie as news os a problem.

        I don’t understand people like you.
        For me, it’s impossibly naive to believe that our disinformation( doesn’t exist, or) will be censored as much as the disinformation of our opponents, yet that’s apparently the new mainstream opinion.
        And x.com is the only social media to have implemented Community Notes.
