Europe Requests Submission of Documents on Elon Musk’s X Algorithm Recommendations

The European Union has initiated an investigation into X, formerly known as Twitter, to evaluate potential infringements of the Digital Services Act, specifically concentrating on risk management and content moderation procedures. The European Commission has directed X to submit internal documents related to its recommender system by February 15. Initial findings suggest that X is violating the Digital Services Act concerning advertising transparency and data accessibility for researchers. The inquiry encompasses an assessment of X's strategies to combat misinformation, especially concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict and its Community Notes function.
