The DSA violation was news in 2024

And the EU is right. Elons blue check boosting logic absolutely violated those laws. Other companies played by the rules and made their systems DSA compliant. Elon did not, now he needs to pay.

The DSA ruling was wrong. The blue checkmark never indicated trustworthy sources of information. Even under previous Twitter management, verified accounts routinely posted misinformation and disinformation. Thierry Breton is either an idiot or lying to push a political narrative.
