Elon Musk's X Blocks European Commission Ads Following €120m Fine
Elon Musk's social media platform, X, has prohibited the European Commission from advertising on its site. This decision follows a €120 million fine imposed by the EU over X's blue tick verification system, which the EU deemed deceptive. The European Commission accused X of not meaningfully verifying users, exposing them to scams and impersonation frauds. The platform has been given 60 days to address these concerns or face additional penalties. In response to the fine, Musk criticized the EU, suggesting it should be abolished, and retweeted a post comparing the EU's actions to fascism. The U.S. Secretary of State and the Federal Communications Commission have also criticized the EU, accusing it of censoring American companies.
