Elon Musk’s X accused of breaching EU rules

“Today we issue for the first time preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act,” Margrethe Vestager, a senior official at the European Commission, the European Union’s executive arm, said in a statement Friday. “In our view, X does not comply with the DSA in key transparency areas, by using dark patterns and thus misleading users, by failing to provide an adequate ad repository, and by blocking access to data for researchers.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.

In the tech industry, non-compliance with regulations like the Digital Services Act in business practices can lead to severe consequences. To maintain transparency and adhere to the DSA, businesses should avoid using dark patterns and establish an adequate ad repository.
