X vs. EU Escalates: Account Shutdown Follows DSA Penalty

[cryptobro]

Tensions between X and the European Commission escalated after a major DSA enforcement action.
Beyond the €120M fine, X now says the EC improperly leveraged an internal advertising exploit — prompting the company to terminate the EC’s ad account.
Bier criticized the Commission for seeking special treatment, while EU officials defended their practices, insisting their use of X’s posting tools complied with platform rules and EU law.
X has 60–90 days to address the EU’s concerns or face further penalties.

DSA enforcement is getting real; platforms must adapt fast.
