Elon Musk’s X could see major fines in Europe as tech firms face crackdown

Elon Musk’s social media site X could face major fines over its alleged failure to police dangerous content – the latest move in an ongoing crackdown by European Union regulators against major tech firms.

The commission had announced last December that they were probing X over the spread of illegal content and misinformation related to the Israel-Hamas war.

The European Commission, the EU’s competition watchdog, is set to hit X with formal charges in the coming days, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
