Elon Musk has disclosed that his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), rejected a secret deal proposed by the European Commission. The deal allegedly offered zero fines in exchange for the platform quietly censoring certain speech. Musk's revelation has sparked discussions about freedom of expression and regulatory pressures on social media companies. Musk’s comments came after X has been accused by the European Union of breaching its online content rules, with its "verified" blue tick accounts having the potential to "deceive" users. The bloc's tech regulator said users could be duped into thinking the identity of those with blue tick marks was verified, when in fact anybody can pay for a blue tick. It said it had found evidence of "malicious actors" abusing the system. Elon Musk Reacts to Massive User Engagement on X in Q2, 2024; Check Details.
