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.
Elon is such a POS. Can’t believe I was moments away from putting a down payment on the Tesla 3 series when they were first being built. Fuck Musk.
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.
You said elsewhere you’ll just buy another Civic so I doubt that.
You’re the most obnoxious kind of commenter lol
Look into a Hyundai ionic 5/6 or a Kia EV6, much better than a Tesla.
Nah, I’m sticking with my little Civic until it dies. Then find another Civic. Wash/repeat. If things go as I expect, I’ll only need one more in my lifetime.
Yup, same. A few months ago I was looking into trading my 12 accord for something newer with bluetooth since my car was worth more than when I bough it thanks to the surge in demand for used cars, but then I remembered it’s still got a lot of life in it and decided not to.
Yeah. I won’t even be able to buy a new Civic since they’ve stopped with the 2 doors. I’ll have to hunt down a 2020.
Wow if only there was another war where musk helped spread misinformation, but I guess it only matters when israel is affected.
This is referring a law that came into effect way after the invasion of Ukraine, this July.
Russian misinformation was already covered and Musk / Twitter specifically has been under investigation for it.
Also, Ukrainians / Russians aren’t causing public disturbances across Europe right now while Mulims / Jews and their sympathizers are.
Slava Ukrainia, Glory to the Heros
Unrelated to the news, but I genuinely enjoy that news sites are referring to it as “X, formerly Twitter.” Such a stupid name change.
Has the 24 hours passed yet?
It’s gotta be close.
