EU Fines X €120 million

The European Commission announces a €120 million fine against X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The decision targets the deceptive design of the “blue checkmark”, the lack of transparency in X’s advertising repository, and the platform’s failure to provide access to public data for researchers.
This is an edited (transformative) version of the European Commission’s Midday Press Briefing, created to improve accessibility. Edits that add transformative value include cutting repetition, silences, and stutters; restructuring the content by theme and topic; adding on-screen context; and enhancing video and audio quality. This edited version does not distort the meaning or message of the original video.

Spokesperson: Thomas Regnier

Edits applied by Europe Echo (transformative value add): repetition, silences, and stutters removed; content restructured by theme so questions and answers stay together and topics remain organised (some sections may be reordered to separate topics more clearly); on-screen context and detailed descriptions added (topic labels, chapters, captions) to make long briefings easier to follow; and video/audio quality enhanced (cropping, splicing the correct audio-language tracks, voice isolation, and colour correction).
