Musk's X platform appeals the European Commission's 120 million euro fine

According to a report by the European media "Brussels Times" cited by Jinshi, the EU previously imposed a fine of 120 million euros on X platform, owned by Musk, for allegedly violating the Digital Services Act, and X platform has appealed this decision.

This fine was imposed by the European Commission last December and is the first penalty under this digital regulatory legislation by the EU. The regulation requires large platforms to combat illegal content, misinformation, and abuse. In a statement released on its own platform, X stated that it is appealing this penalty and claimed that the EU's investigation is flawed.

The company stated: "This decision stems from an incomplete and superficial investigation, with serious procedural errors, a misinterpretation of the obligations under the Digital Services Act, and systemic violations of the rights to defense and due process."
