🗓️ One year after entry into force of the #DigitalServicesAct, #Musk's platform #X is still not complying with the law.
Together with @apti we alerted X that its 'Help' pages in most EU languages except English are misleading. They're sending #TrustedFlaggers who want to notify infringing content to a submission form that does not work.
Means to flag infringing content is mandatory under the #DSA. We have asked X to correct its pages by March 3, 2025 and will keep you posted on their response ⌛

Time for action! 💪🏾
Today, we filed a formal #DSA complaint against X in Ireland, together with our Romanian member @apti.
We show how X misleads #TrustedFlaggers to use a wrong, non-functional online form in all EU languages but English.
Reminder: A few weeks ago we asked #X to rectify their faulty online forms, but while they thanked us for the info they didn't actually do anything about it 🤷🏾♀️

Stay tuned for the #ProtectNotSurveil position paper on the #Europol reform TOMORROW!
The European Commission is claims to protect vulnerable asylum seekers, but beneath this veneer lies a far more insidious reality. In truth, this approach fuels harm and discrimination towards people on the move while empowering the EU’s policing agency with unprecedented surveillance capabilities and insufficient oversight.
We know you can’t wait to read it. So here’s a sneak peek:

Why the new Europol regulation is a Trojan Horse for surveillance
The EU Commission is framing these proposals as a humanitarian effort to “curb exploitation” by “ruthless smuggling gangs” — but this disguises a more insidious reality.EUobserver
