The European Commission said it will “make sure” it receives money owed by Elon Musk’s X after the company was fined €120 million for failing to meet transparency rules.
The Commission on Friday said X has breached transparency and deceptive design obligations under the EU's platforms regulation, the Digital Services Act, and issued the €120 million penalty.
The decision set off a cascade of accusations of censorship from U.S. officials, Musk and his supporters, with some suggesting the company should refuse to pay the fine.
Commission also says it will remain on X for now to “get in touch” with citizens.Eliza Gkritsi (POLITICO)

Pancakes, im kind of in the mood but not sure I have the energy to go through with it, technology is moving at breakneck speed, as an avid linux user I have been using windows recently as I like to stay current on all the weird things going on with software and OS's, now I have very crappy hardware as its all I have and cant afford for what I would like, like wise I have super cheap android phone, all these are commercially useless and dead, as soon as a new chip is developed it is already useless as the next one is already under development, software takes up space that 20-30 years ago would not even be thought of, the resources to simply type out and serve this post are ancient by the standard of what is to come, stable as it is but soon outdated, quantum computing coupled with bioneural circuits driven with advanced Ai are already on the cusp of functionality, by the time the cosmos blinks human technology will be so far advanced humans wont be able to keep up and actually utilize nor understand it, I am an odd person with many interests and have studied a wide array in my life, technology like all science and art moves fast, the composer of function and form are often beyond basic comprehension, even those deep in the trenches of development are often confounded by their achievements, a life of adversity has allowed me to obtain a diverse wisdom base, I can make things work that should never even be able to, much like myself I was written off at birth by the doctors and I defied them over and over, and sadly I continue to suffer, a marvel of biology and a medical mystery, my brain is both dying and thriving, technology dies and thrives with every 0and1 and the rate is mind boggling, if I base my life expectancy off of family history I am condemned to the rock for another 40-50 years, in that time I am nearly certain that at the current rate of development, we will have fully functioning transporter and replicator technology now how advanced and useful remains to be seen, but technology as a whole is moving at lightspeed and when I die I may be blessed to be on an asteroid instead of earth;

“you don’t decide if you go to hospital, I do” - a nurse told Zuhrah.
A Palestine Action–affiliated detainee on hunger strike was left without timely medical care as her health rapidly deteriorated inside HMP Bronzefield, MEE reports.
Qesser Zuhrah, who has not eaten for more than 41 days in protest of her detention and the proscription of Palestine Action, reportedly suffered severe chest pain, dizziness, and breathing difficulties while prison staff repeatedly refused requests to call an ambulance.
Friends, family members, doctors, and MPs say Zuhrah was left lying on her cell floor for hours, with calls for help ignored and medical staff failing to return despite abnormal test results. An ambulance was only called after she lost consciousness the following morning. She was later returned to prison without a diagnosis or explanation.
The incident has heightened concerns over the treatment of pro-Palestine detainees in the UK, as eight of them remain on hunger strike. MPs and activists warn that continued neglect places the strikers’ lives at immediate risk and say authorities are using medical denial as a form of repression against Palestinian solidarity.

I’m 32 pages into Tea & Alchemy by Sharon Lynn Fisher.
It’s a phenomenal book.
A Victorian-themed fantasy novel, it’s full of vivid characters and ample wit. The writing is tight, no wasted wordage, and flows beautifully. And I’m constantly turning the page.
Such a great plot too. It’s about a young woman, working at a bakery, who stumbles upon a dead body. Was it the result of a wild animal? Or was it… murder?
A fun romp.

This is the first fine, if they don't comply in the future (edit: in 90 days), they'll get more fines, increasing each time.

Consumer protection still exists and what x is doing with it's 'verified' badges is just straight up deception. The only thing it verifies is that that account has paid x money.
Second, relating to transparency in advertising. Hybrid warfare is a major threat to the stability of Europe's society, institutions and democracy. A major vector for that is propaganda carried out through Facebook and X. Both through fake users and adverts.
The EU should very much take this seriously and I'm glad that they are.

Musk, like all bullies, just doesn't want any accountability whatsoever. Yes, the amount is trivial given his means, but as we saw in South America, he is perfectly willing to back down when a challenge is meaningful, culturally if not materially.

in reply to vga • • •Right, just like Florida Senator Rick Scott didn't get wealthy committing the largest Medicaire fraud in history, after pleading the 5th over 185 times in his trial. The blame was the company that he owned, and was the CEO. The company paid a massive fine, but he kept his stolen government money, and went on to run for Governor of Florida, where he continued his campaign of stealing from the government, doubling his net worth, and is now a Florida Senator, where he was recently caught on video railing against talk of abolishing insider trading for Senators, whining that "Democrats want to keep people from earning money!"
No, you penis with ears, making a living is fine, but you are using a method that would put any of the rest of us in prison for years, and that happens all the time. We just expect YOU to live by the same laws as US.
He HATES it when people post these reminders of how his entire fortune is build on taking money from the government, as he rails against Career Politicians, and runs on term limits, which he never introduces once he's on office.
