The EU has issued a warning to Elon Musk over the disinformation about the Hamas attack on Israel, including fake news and “repurposed old images”, on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The letter arrives less than two months after sweeping new laws regulating content on social media came into force under the EU Digital Services Act.
If X doesn't comply it can face a fine of 6% of its global revenues or a total blackout in the EU.
