The European Commission says it is prepared to defend a 120 million euro fine against Elon Musk's platform X after Washington backed his effort to have the case dismissed.
Washington has sided with Elon Musk's X in arguing that the European Union overstepped when it fined the platform €120 million under the bloc's Digital Services Act.
Washington accuses the European Commission of regulatory overreach, while Brussels maintains the platform breached transparency rules, Anadolu Agency reports.
The European Union had accused X of deceiving users by selling blue checkmarks without meaningfully verifying accounts, the BBC reports.
Washington formally moved to support the case brought by Musk's platform against the European Union's penalty.
The social media platform is linking stock and asset discussions on its timeline directly to trading functionality, according to TechCrunch.
Privacy-focused alternatives for accessing X posts without an account have been taken offline following the platform's escalated legal pressure.
A technology researcher facing possible deportation from the United States is continuing efforts to document hate speech on the social media platform X, according to a report from Ars Technica.
A federal judge issued a temporary ruling barring a startup from using the Twitter name while finding X may have abandoned trademark claims to 'Tweet' and its bird logo, according to TechCrunch.
A court has granted Elon Musk's request to block a rival's use of the "Twitter" name, citing an App Store listing describing X as "formerly Twitter," according to Ars Technica.
