EU Warns Musk, X on Hate Speech Ahead of Trump Interview
A top European Union official warned Elon Musk ahead of Monday night’s interview on X with former President Donald Trump about the 27-nation alliance’s rules against “amplification of harmful content.”
In a letter to Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino that he posted on X, Thierry Breton, a French businessman who is the European Commissioner for Internal Market, wrote “as the individual entity ultimately controlling a platform with over 300 million users worldwide, of which one-third in the EU, that has been designated as a Very Large Online Platform, you have the legal obligation to ensure X’s compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA [Digital Services Act] in the EU.”
DSA regulations, which took effect in February, reportedly were put in place to monitor social media platforms in Europe by removing content and misinformation. Critics claim the regulations are sweeping and tantamount to censorship.
