EU takes action against Elon Musk’s X over disinformation | BBC News
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.
X said it was “co-operating with the regulatory process”.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Can they tell exactly what the misinformation is? Is the misinformation that IDF is blocking aid into Gaza so people world almost starve to death? Or is the misinformation that IDF shut down fuel and electricity to hospitals that caused the hospital to turn into a morgue and led to mass deaths of the babies there as well?

Firstly who decides what is this disinformation this is literally like something out of a George Orwell novel!! It amazes me Elon Musk gives a platform where finally each side has a voice free speech and he gets essentially crucified for it, now the EU coming after X!! Whereas TikTok ruins the minds of a generation literally a Chinese government application! and no governments want to do anything about it!!

It's not easy for Elon to sell cars in China. Elon seems to have inherited Kissinger's career, buying Twitter is probably also part of Elon and Mr. Xi's plan, one of the ways to spread conspiracy theories and fake news, Mr. Trump coming to power is another plan. Unexpectedly perfect, because he does not understand politics and follows his emotions, so it can easily cause internal unrest.

Elon should just pull the plug on the EU. I wonder how long the populace would be fine with no X. Something tells me they’d start to feel a lot of pressure to reverse course. Then again, maybe not. Perhaps the Europeans subconsciously want a real life 1984 experience? Let me have it

I can’t wait until people start sueing government officials for infringement on their rights. All they want is too push their agenda on the people. The people that outnumber them 5000 to 1. Start looking into politicians businesses. Anything wrong they do sue them. I’m sure there’s quite a bit of wrong doings going on. They can only push people so far. I mean the WHO lied to everyone. It’s on paper released to public yet nobody does anything.

Thierry Breton, the chief propaganda minister of the EU parliament, a conglomerate of obedient bootlickers for the shareholders and magnates, sues the last uncensored media platform for disinformation, while a war wages they lie about, while crisis after crisis goes unattended and the civilians get cheated out of their money, even their living spaces with legions of "asylum seekers". Absolute scum.

Let me bring you another breaking news: today the new Polish left-liberal government, which emerged from the last elections and which has the broad support of EU officials, tried to take over state television by force in an illegal manner and in violation of Polish law. Television executives are being unlawfully dismissed and employees are being denied access to editorial offices. Some news television programmes are blocked, including broadcasts of TVP World. Members of the conservative democratic opposition are on the television premises, who, having the support of the President and the assembled protesting Poles, want to bring the new Polish authorities to their senses and respect the legal order in Poland.

X is a social media platform, not a news agency. The public should be allowed to be wrong.
When your child draws a picture and tells you it's Santa, will you be referring them to the EU and demanding that they destroy the image on the grounds of a factual inaccuracy?

The problem is that we depend on American tech giants for social media, every other superpower has its own social media but the EU who uses the USA’s ones. Rather then trying to bend X to fit both the USA and EU it would be smarter to develop our own platform.

How dare the EU protect it's consumers from unscrupulous, deceptive business practices, amirite? Lets hope X pulls out of the EU entirely, it won't be missed.
