EU Threatens X with DSA Ban Over Content Moderation

Commissioner Jourová stated platforms must "act responsibly." Critics noted the EU was effectively coercing a private company to suppress lawful speech through regulatory threat, with no judicial oversight of the underlying content determinations.
