Trying to censor Americans is an act of war.

We should immediately stop all aid of any kind to the EU—at a minimum.

[Gnome1949]

These EU countries ARE NOT OUR ALLIES. They are totalitarian dictatorships ! !

[plain talk]

The EU goes where the money is and Musk has lots of it. Like locusts they will feast and then move on.

[Menehune56]

I wonder if that be corrected by X no longer serving EU or would that result in an even larger fine.

[EnderWiggin1970]

Time to start bombing Brussels.

[Az Joe]

F EU

They will regret it.

[dfwgator]

FU EU.

If Europe is going to be a dictatorship, they might as well have Putin as the dictator.

"X has 90 working days to submit to the Commission an action plan setting out the necessary measures to address the infringements of Articles 39 and 40(12) DSA, relating to the advertising repository and to the access to public data for researchers. The Board of Digital Services will have one month from receipt of X's action plan to give its opinion. The Commission will have another month to give its final decision and set a reasonable implementation period.

"Failure to comply with the non-compliance decision may lead to periodic penalty payments. The Commission continues to engage with X to ensure compliance with the decision and with the DSA more generally."

Source: Commission fines X €120 million under the Digital Services Act From the European Commission, 4 December 2025

It is not just the "fine" meted out by a supra-national government's tiny group atop thw whole, but the demand for firther COMPLIANCE.

From the action, "...the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The breaches include the deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark', the lack of transparency of its advertising repository, and the failure to provide access to public data for researchers."

The nosy, noisy EC has not gone through a court proceeding. This is totalitarian behavior, basically, from a group which exhibits avarice in much.

And here they are:

[PGR88]

So who is the real enemy?

[Tench_Coxe]

You read things like this, and the EU trying to impose the DSA on Americans, or attempts to ban political parties in France and Germany, or England forcing digital IDs and surveillance cameras everywhere, or counties across Europe supporting Islamists over the native populations....

Remind me again why the push to get the US embroiled in a Eastern European conflict between two corrupt countries, spending our blood and treasure defending the regimes mentioned in the first paragraph?

Our forefathers fought a revolution to be free of that s**t, not to mention sending men and equipment to the same part of the world twice in the 20th century presumably to keep those people free.

[rktman]

Hey united states of europe. Sit down and let the adults do what they do. These buffoons never learn do they?

[Cobra64]

Yawn.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

The unelected European creepozoids can go pound sand.

Several European entities, including the European Space Agency (ESA) and national agencies from countries like France, Italy, Germany, and the EU, have contracted SpaceX (Falcon 9 & Falcon Heavy) for launches, with missions for Euclid (ESA), Hera (ESA), Galileo satellites (EU), and Eumetsat satellites.

The EU has dumped billions into the ESA Arianne rocket. It is not reusable.

Next time they come begging SpaceX to launch something, he should charge them $140 million PER MINUTE.

[metmom]

What a scam to get some free money from someone.

[metmom]

I wonder whose pockets that will end up in.

[right way right]

X is gaslighting algorithm central.

EU really needs some serious gaslighting.

No wonder they want it censored.

Too much freedom going on.

[gunnut]

Time to shutdown EU space launches and shutdown Starlink in Europe.

[Lurker]

So shut X off in the EU. No one there can use it for any reason.

Then watch them howl.

EU Fines Musk $140 Million for Refusing To Censor X

The United States should look at this as an act of war.

He should counter sue them in US Federal court under USC 18 sections 241 and 242. Pertaining to denervation of rights under color of law. He and many of his customers are US citizens.
