Summary
A German court ruled that Elon Musk’s X must immediately provide researchers with data on politically related content ahead of Germany’s Feb. 23 election.
The lawsuit, filed by Democracy Reporting International and the Society for Civil Rights, accused X of blocking efforts to track election interference.
The ruling enforces the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), requiring major platforms to grant researcher access. It also orders X to pay legal costs and imposes a €6,000 procedural fine.
The decision sets a legal precedent, but it remains unclear if X will appeal.
Which flavor of shoe polish do you like most?
Any flavor that would send Alexandre de Moraes to the jail cell, his rightful place.
That has the same chances of happening as Trump going to jail for his lengthy list of crimes, ya know?
You never know what the political world has in store. Before Alexandre de Moraes, doing blatant preventive censorship was unthinkable. When he made this practice into the “new normal”, he radicalized the right even more, and they might turn to dirty tricks to get to him.
