The latest developments include French prosecutors initiating an investigation into X's alleged algorithmic bias on February 7. Additionally, a German court has ordered X to share election monitoring data with researchers before the February 23 elections. Both actions are related to concerns regarding compliance with the EU Digital Services Act.
The significance of these investigations is underscored by mounting worries about Musk's alignment with far-right political factions and the possibility of election meddling in Europe. X could potentially incur fines amounting to 6% of its global annual revenue and may face restrictions on platform accessibility within the EU.
