The European Commission said it will “make sure” it receives money owed by Elon Musk’s X after the company was fined €120 million for failing to meet transparency rules.

The Commission on Friday said X has breached transparency and deceptive design obligations under the EU’s platforms regulation, the Digital Services Act, and issued the €120 million penalty.

The decision set off a cascade of accusations of censorship from U.S. officials, Musk and his supporters, with some suggesting the company should refuse to pay the fine.

    No. It’s a valid system - and it gives the companies incentives. Ask MS who payed 2.2 billion by now, 9.7 Billions from google,etc.

    Both have changed decisions/adopted their eco system which they earlier claimed as “impossible to change”. Same goes for apple,btw.

    We just reached the first step of a ladder. But each step is at least double what it was before.
