EU Prepares $1B+ Fine for X, Citing DSA Violation
2025-04-06
The European Union is reportedly preparing a massive fine, potentially exceeding $1 billion, against X (formerly Twitter) for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). The penalty, expected this summer, would be the first under the new EU law. Regulators are considering calculating the fine based on the revenue of Elon Musk's other companies, like SpaceX. X has vehemently denied wrongdoing and claims to have complied with the DSA, vowing to fight the penalty, framing it as an attack on free speech. This move underscores the EU's assertive approach to regulating tech giants.
