Elon Musk @elonmusk:The European Commission offered 饾晱 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal.
饾晱 did not.

In our view @X doesn’t comply with the DSA in key transparency areas. It misleads users, fails to provide adequate ad repository and blocks access to data for researchers. It’s the first time we issue preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act. 馃憞 https://europa.eu/!CGPVCV

They want to silence people who are not on the govt narrative.

Thanks for standing up Elon and continuing to support free speech despite the tremendous pressure these EU bureaucrats try to exert on X.

The EU is corrupt and needs to be rebuild from scratch.
Musk: EU Wanted "Illegal Secret Deal" to "Quietly Censor Speech"
the european commission wanted 饾晱 to hire a team of people in the eu that would unilaterally oversee the removal of 'misinformation' on the platform, a source with knowledge of the issue told us
On Friday, said the European Commission (EC) "offered 饾晱 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone," they would not seek to issue daily fines related to 饾晱’s blue check verification system that could total 6% of the company’s annual revenue.
"The other platforms accepted that deal. 饾晱 did not," his post says.
Elon’s post came after EC commissioner Thierry Breton announced the Commission's preliminary findings that pre-Elon, blue checkmarks "used to mean trustworthy sources of information," but now violate the Digital Services Act because, today, "anyone can subscribe to obtain such a 'verified' status," therefore the commission may "impose fines & require significant changes."
The EC wanted 饾晱 to hire a team of people in the EU that could number in the hundreds to remove 'misinformation' from the platform, a person with knowledge of the issue told PW Editor-in-Chief . 饾晱 would have no recourse in these removal decisions, the person said.
"The objective of the Digital Services Act is to ensure a safe and fair online environment for European citizens that is respectful of their rights, in particular freedom of expression," EC spokesperson Thomas Regnier told Pirate Wires over email. "The DSA requires a fair and transparent complaint mechanism for users. If an account is suspended, the user has the right to contest the decision. This means that decisions must not be arbitrary, and users are empowered to protect their online presence... When an account is restricted, the user must be informed and has the right to appeal the decision."
Shortly after his post about the secret deal, Elon posted that he plans to take the Commission to court if its preliminary findings are confirmed and it pursues an enforcement action against 饾晱.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a new legislative regulatory bundle by the EC that only became fully applicable this February, and seeks to fine companies like 饾晱, Meta, and Google up to 6% of their annual revenue for violations, which include failure to remove "illegal" content once it’s reported. What’s considered illegal can vary depending on the specific national laws of EU member states, provided these laws are compatible with EU law. For example, content that’s illegal in Germany must be removed for users in Germany, even if it is not illegal in another member state.
The EC also accused 饾晱 of failure to "comply with the required transparency on advertising, as it does not provide a searchable and reliable advertisement repository," and prohibiting "eligible researchers from independently accessing its public data," both of which are in violation of its DSA.
In April, Elon publicly feuded with Brazilian lawmakers after he refused to comply with their demands to remove accounts without explanation to account owners or the public. Brazilian lawmakers had previously asked 饾晱 to remove accounts critical of its regime under these conditions.
"We do not know the reasons these blocking orders have been issued. We do not know which posts are alleged to violate the law. We are prohibited from saying which court or judge issued the order, or on what grounds. We are prohibited from saying which accounts are impacted. We are threatened with daily fines if we fail to comply," posted 饾晱’s Global Government Affairs team about Brazil’s demands. 饾晱 ultimately reversed course, and announced it would comply with the Brazilian government’s requests.
Today, the EC's findings are "preliminary," but per the EC, "if the Commission's preliminary views were to be ultimately confirmed... [it] could entail fines of up to 6% of the total worldwide annual turnover of [饾晱], and order [it] to take measures to address the breach."

Musk: La UE quer铆a un "acuerdo secreto ilegal" para "censurar silenciosamente el discurso"
La Comisi贸n Europea quer铆a contratar un equipo de personas en la UE que supervisar铆a unilateralmente la eliminaci贸n de "informaci贸n err贸nea" en la plataforma, nos dijo una fuente con conocimiento del tema.
El viernes,
@Elon Musk
dijo que la Comisi贸n Europea (CE) "ofreci贸 a 饾晱 un acuerdo secreto ilegal: si censuramos silenciosamente el discurso sin dec铆rselo a nadie", no intentar铆an imponer multas diarias relacionadas con el sistema de verificaci贸n de cheques azules de 饾晱, que podr铆an sumar el 6% de los ingresos anuales de la empresa. .
"Las otras plataformas aceptaron ese trato. 饾晱 no", dice su publicaci贸n.
La publicaci贸n de Elon se produjo despu茅s de que el comisionado de la CE, Thierry Breton, anunciara las conclusiones preliminares de la Comisi贸n de que, antes de Elon, las marcas de verificaci贸n azules "sol铆an significar fuentes confiables de informaci贸n", pero ahora violan la Ley de Servicios Digitales porque, hoy en d铆a, "cualquiera puede suscribirse para obtener dicha informaci贸n". "Estado verificado", por lo que la comisi贸n puede "imponer multas y exigir cambios significativos".
La CE quer铆a que 饾晱 contratara un equipo de cientos de personas en la UE para eliminar la "informaci贸n err贸nea" de la plataforma, dijo una persona con conocimiento del tema al editor jefe de PW.
@micsolana
. 饾晱 no tendr铆a ning煤n recurso en estas decisiones de expulsi贸n, dijo la persona.
"El objetivo de la Ley de Servicios Digitales es garantizar un entorno en l铆nea seguro y justo para los ciudadanos europeos que respete sus derechos, en particular la libertad de expresi贸n", dijo el portavoz de la CE, Thomas Regnier, a Pirate Wires por correo electr贸nico. "La DSA requiere un mecanismo de queja justo y transparente para los usuarios. Si se suspende una cuenta, el usuario tiene derecho a impugnar la decisi贸n. Esto significa que las decisiones no deben ser arbitrarias, y los usuarios est谩n facultados para proteger su presencia en l铆nea... Cuando se restringe una cuenta, el usuario debe ser informado y tiene derecho a apelar la decisi贸n."
Poco despu茅s de su publicaci贸n sobre el acuerdo secreto, Elon public贸 que planea llevar a la Comisi贸n a los tribunales si se confirman sus conclusiones preliminares y emprende una acci贸n coercitiva contra 饾晱.
La Ley de Servicios Digitales (DSA) es un nuevo paquete regulatorio legislativo de la CE que reci茅n entr贸 en vigor en febrero y busca multar a empresas como 饾晱, Meta y Google hasta el 6% de sus ingresos anuales por infracciones, que incluyen fallas. para eliminar contenido "ilegal" una vez denunciado. Lo que se considera ilegal puede variar seg煤n las leyes nacionales espec铆ficas de los estados miembros de la UE, siempre que estas leyes sean compatibles con la legislaci贸n de la UE. Por ejemplo, el contenido que es ilegal en Alemania debe ser eliminado para los usuarios en Alemania, incluso si no es ilegal en otro estado miembro.
La CE tambi茅n acus贸 a 饾晱 de no "cumplir con la transparencia requerida en publicidad, ya que no proporciona un repositorio de publicidad confiable y con capacidad de b煤squeda", y de prohibir a "los investigadores elegibles acceder de forma independiente a sus datos p煤blicos", lo cual viola su DSA.
En abril, Elon se pele贸 p煤blicamente con legisladores brasile帽os despu茅s de que se neg贸 a cumplir con sus demandas de eliminar cuentas sin dar explicaciones a los propietarios de las mismas ni al p煤blico. Los legisladores brasile帽os hab铆an pedido previamente a 饾晱 que eliminara las cuentas cr铆ticas con su r茅gimen en estas condiciones.
"No sabemos los motivos por los que se han emitido estas 贸rdenes de bloqueo. No sabemos qu茅 publicaciones supuestamente violan la ley. Se nos proh铆be decir qu茅 tribunal o juez emiti贸 la orden, o por qu茅 motivos. Se nos proh铆be decir qu茅 cuentas se ven afectadas Nos amenazan con multas diarias si no cumplimos", public贸 el equipo de Asuntos Gubernamentales Globales de 饾晱 sobre las demandas de Brasil. 饾晱 finalmente cambi贸 de rumbo y anunci贸 que cumplir铆a con las solicitudes del gobierno brasile帽o.
Hoy en d铆a, las conclusiones de la CE son "preliminares", pero seg煤n la CE, "si las opiniones preliminares de la Comisi贸n se confirmaran finalmente... [esto] podr铆a implicar multas de hasta el 6% del volumen de negocios anual total mundial de [饾晱] , y ordenarle que adopte medidas para subsanar el incumplimiento".
