#X (17 mins ago): "We have launched a new formal investigation against X under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
It will assess whether the company properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok's functionalities into X in the EU." (emphasis added)
@katzenberger @EUCommission Fair point. Very icky.

@EUCommission
Nunrersuchungen sind ja ganz notwendig , Besser wäre es aber:Keine Kostenplichtigen Accounts mehr, keine relevanten Werbungen, Keinewichtigen Teilnehmer mehr auf dieser Dreckschleuder X.
Es gibt gute Europäische Alternativen!!! -
Vielleicht könnte sich die EU-Kommission angesichts der Verfehlungen auch dazu durchringen, auf X als Nachrichten-Medium zu verzichten. Es fühlt sich so ähnlich an, als würde die EU-Kommission wegen der Reichweite in Compact inserieren.
Das würde zumindest gut zur Resolution in Sachen digitale Souveränität passen.
EU-Parlament: Große Mehrheit stimmt für digitale Souveränität
Fraktionsübergreifend hat das EU-Parlament eine Resolution angenommen, die gegen digitale Abhängigkeit von Technologiekonzernen wirken will. EU-Kommission und Mitgliedsländer werden zu einer Bestandsaufnahme und konkreten Gegenmaßnahmen aufgefordert.

@EUCommission I'll believe it once I see it. As of now you're actively funding X by having a presence there - and posting regularly - hence directing ad income their way.

@EUCommission Then stop taking money from the lobby groups, stop deregulation, start holding them accountable. 155 Million Euros in lobby money in 2025 divided between 733 lobby groups, the biggest spenders are the usual suspects.
All our data go to US tech corporations for whatever purposes while we in turn get the right-wing propaganda by the big players who are all firmly behind Trump whose goal it is to destroy NATO and the EU. What could go wrong, right?
Big Tech lobby budgets hit record levels | Corporate Europe Observatory
New figures show that the digital industry as a whole is now spending €151 million a year on lobbying the EU, a major increase to what was already considerable firepower.

Great news!! So, you are going to take down petrochemical industries that attack our fundamental right to a good health, for example?

@EUCommission Sounds good, but I think I'd be more inclined to believe you were serious about it if you didn't still have an active Twitter account.

Shouldn't anyone who tries then be suspended until the end of the investigation? Or is not damaging their revenue more important than not harming citizen rights?

@EUCommission ban X from the EU as soon as possible. Be independent and create a path for a different technology in the EU.

@EUCommission The best time to leave X was when Elon Musk bought twitter. The second best time to leave X is today.

@EUCommission you remain big hypocrites:
@hub @EUCommission Twitter is the best place to share this article, though -

@EUCommission So you're starting by closing all your accounts on X, right?

@BartV @EUCommission That would be a good start. And while you're at it, start a campaign to stimulate the usage of distributed social media like Mastodon.

@EUCommission
Good and frankly long overdue step.Furthermore, as others have already mentioned, withdrawing from that platform would also be a correct step. Yes, it's a bit different from the position of institution since you need to reach people somehow (kind of like journalists need to stick to even some nasty spaces) however:
A) That corner of space should be under YOUR control. Basically what you're doing with Mastodon presence is the way to go. Your instance, your infrastructure, without reliance on external actors, especially now
B) It must COMPLEMENT the official channels, not replace them. Your social outreach must not become what the US institutions (and I use the term loosely) are doing.
So yes, you're walking in the right direction and there's still room for growth.
Also, probably the most important thing: Social media must be "people first" not "engagement first". -

@EUCommission you should have read my conversations. He was semi-normal, then we injected him into Hitler. He got a Israel lobotomy and now it's Mussolini.

@EUCommission This really does look like a deliberate “we’ll find the edge by hitting it” strategy. It’s very old-school Silicon Valley, almost nostalgic in a bad way. Move fast, ship first, apologize later, let regulators chase you. That approach worked in a world where the worst thing you broke was a photo sharing app or a social graph.
