As an American afflicted with this man's influence, I hope the EU tells that arrogant sonuvabitch to go fuck himself. I hope Europe can reign in the influence of big business, because it has become clear we won't.

Everyone is absolutely right when they say "President Musk."
Ugh. :(
yeah, yeah, sure, sure, years of "scrutiny" at this point has led to zero consequences, all these stories are nothing but clickbait for ad revenue. stop telling me you're thinking about maybe doing something, so the thing, then report on that
The European Commission on Friday announced it would add new steps to an investigation that kicked off in December 2023.
They are doing something, X is ordered to disclose its algorithm to the commission to see if the platform is as neutral and free of censorship as Musk claims, by 15 Feb 2025.
I'm somewhat dubious that they'll disclose anything close to the effective algorithm.
It'll be an incomprehensible pile of heuristics that operate on data they won't provide.
"Boost posts from accounts where account_flag & 0x00F00" is the algo... Which accounts those are is data.
I do expect the EU investigators to follow up on any clear obfuscation of the algorithm. I'm not sure by how much but it will be better than the dog-and-pony show that are US Senate hearings.
disclosure, you say, oooooo harry did you hear, dis clo sure, oooooo la la, that'll show him, that's gonna leave a mark, that disclosure thing i'm sure
It actually will. Don't forget, European countries have actual laws against promoting certain terrorist ideologies, unlike the US. Digging into the algorithm will prove that his platform is promoting illegal content.
Musk doesn't want the EU to become the next Brazil.
...investigation intensifies...
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
You got about three weeks, EU. Stop fucking around.
