EU says it will ‘make sure’ Elon Musk’s X pays €120M fine
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.

A Russian drone hits Turkish cargo vessel VIVA in the Black Sea. This matters for Turkey, maritime security, and Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s “shadow fleet.” It means increased risk for Black Sea shipping serving Ukraine’s legitimate export needs. youtu.be/YYBB8wSspu0
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to simply type out and serve this post are ancient by the standard of what is to come, stable as it is but soon outdated, quantum computing coupled with bioneural circuits driven with advanced Ai are already on the cusp of functionality, by the time the cosmos blinks human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;
