BRUSSELS – Mr Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, formerly twitter, is considering removing the service from Europe in response to a new Internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.
The billionaire has discussed removing the app’s availability in the region, or blocking users in the European Union from accessing it, a person familiar with the company told the publication.
The EU in August adopted the Digital Services Act, which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things.
