EU set to fine Elon Musk's X up to $1 billion for breaking disinformation law
-
Summary
The EU plans to fine Elon Musk’s X over $1 billion for violating the Digital Services Act by failing to control disinformation and illicit content.
This would mark the first major penalty under the new law and could trigger a legal clash with Musk, who vowed to fight in court.
Regulators say the fine aims to deter other platforms. Tensions with the U.S. are rising, as X also faces a broader investigation.
When are we going to learn that this doesn't work.
Elon will make back that billion back in a short enough time that it won't matter!
Start taking percentages of their income! Company needs to pay 30% of their revenue for ten years.
That'll put the fear god in them!

Just ban the whole damn Nazi platform.

They could leave it first, but yes.

There's a legal process that they have to get right, the investigation only started last year.
I see, thank you for the clarification.

Twitter might as well be 4chan with how heavily I avoid that site now.

Just block them completely

Just ban the whole damn Nazi platform.
EU does not have the balls to do it. Same as Democrats in US.

Seriously, how much money will have been spent by EU to make this happen
-
Up to 1 billion, it will be less than that and it will be dragged out as long as possible... And still it isn't as beneficial as plain blocking the nazi websites.

“Plans to” has as much value as “slams” when it comes to real world impact. I’d love to be proven wrong and have the new title become “actually fines”, but I have my doubts.

Sadly, you're right. Although if the the extreme aggression coming from the US government continues, they might actually get prodded into doing something about it eventually.

The difference is that the judicial branch needs to be thorough and build a case. Planning to is all they can do until they actually do.
If Shitter is found to do something illegal that should land them a fine that is what will happen.

up to $1 billion
It will be much less than a billion.
If a fine can be paid without causing financial strain, then it just becomes part of the cost of doing business.
If you want results, fine him $100 billion.
Also, they should fine him in €

There is a history of following through with huge fines
