Today, we have issued a fine to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the #DSA.

The breaches concern the deceptive design of its blue checkmark, the lack of transparency in its ads repository, and the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.

Take a good look at this man. His intent is to censor the entire Internet, including in the United States. He hates our freedom because it exposes his lies. He treats “1984” as a guidebook. He is a totalitarian menace, and we must do everything we can to remove him from power.

Why are we in NATO if European NATO members are in direct violation of the NATO Treaty?

Why should Americans defend a continent that is in the process of killing free speech, democracy, and itself?

🚨TWITTER FILES – FRANCE

At this moment, the Trump administration is negotiating with the EU over final obstacles to a trade deal, one of which is European censorship of US social media platforms.

Many analysts believe the massive size of the EU will lead US social media firms

You say it's not about censorship ("content moderation") but it is. You want to censor who gets verified. And you want X to give government-picked "researchers" special access to data so they can demand censorship. The Twitter Files revealed your censorship-by-proxy scam.

Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.

We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers

The statement is part of a broader discussion on censorship, free speech, and political influence within NATO and the EU. It implies that Macron and Von der Leyen are manipulating individuals for their agenda, which is a serious accusation. The tone is accusatory and dismissive, lacking evidence or constructive dialogue.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement could potentially harm reputations without evidence, violating the principle of doing no harm. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It does not respect the privacy and dignity of the individuals mentioned, potentially engaging in defamation. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, instead fostering division. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    It lacks constructive criticism and engages in personal attacks without substantiation. [-2]
