Behind the EU's €120 million fine against Musk's X platform: A battle for digital dominance is underway!
The European Union levied a hefty €120 million ($140 million) fine against Elon Musk’s social media platform X last Friday, December 5. This marks the first significant enforcement action under the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA), triggering widespread controversy and a stern warning from the United States. The substantial penalty has sparked extensive debate across various sectors. Furthermore, it drew a strong rebuke from the U.S., intensifying the escalating friction between Washington and Europe over digital sovereignty. Consequently, a global battle for digital influence and regulatory control appears to be underway.
