It has been reported that the European Union is preparing to impose a record fine of 1 billion dollars on an unspecified company (X). However, according to reports in the American media, four sources who wished to remain anonymous due to the ongoing investigation have confirmed this claim.
European Union regulators are planning to impose a fine on the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, that could exceed 1 billion dollars. The main reason for the fine is the allegation that the platform does not comply with the Digital Services Act, which came into force to combat illegal content and disinformation. This law requires social media platforms to take stricter measures regarding content moderation.
CHANGES MAY ALSO BE MANDATORY
Authorities indicate that the penalty will not only involve a significant monetary fine but may also require various changes to be made to the platform. The announcement of the sanction decision is expected this summer. European officials are considering factors such as trade policies between the US and the EU, customs tariffs, and the war in Ukraine, as well as the potential reaction from Donald Trump, while determining the amount of the fine.
According to a source, EU regulators plan to use the fine imposed on X as a deterrent example to encourage other tech companies to comply with the Digital Services Act. Therefore, it is stated that the fine could exceed 1 billion dollars.
