If they actually were issuing this fine because of violations of the DSA they wouldn't be afraid of retaliation from the US. Just read that bullshit quote about what a blue checkbox on a profile means or not means...

This is the retaliation. We made the first moves. The White House’s contempt for Europe has been laid bare—trying not to anger Trump, at this point, would be superfluous.
I’m European and I couldn’t care less about blue checkmarks and I don’t want social networks censoring people. After all, every time the commission has publicly clashed with Musk it has been because the commission wanted more censorship and Musk doesn’t care. On what side should I be?
P.S: Don't believe the Big Scary Mainstream Media, Elon is very happy to censor people that he disagrees with.
Somewhat. Right now Twitter and IG are the least censored major social media.
We know that Twitter used to comply with far fewer government censorship requests in countries like Turkey and India before Musk took over, so actual data would be great.
I am talking in regards to censorship by the platform, not from the government/legally required.
It is a personal observation, but one I think it's clearly observeable by anyone that looks at them. I don't need a study to tell me that Tokyo is cleaner than SF, or that 4chan has less censorship than reddit.
Or are you asking why I made my last comment? I thought it was more polite than just not replying.
