We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

---

@EUCommission awesome! do you have the means to block grok until the investigations are over?

@EUCommission ban X from the EU as soon as possible. Be independent and create a path for a different technology in the EU.

@EUCommission The best time to leave X was when Elon Musk bought twitter. The second best time to leave X is today.

@EUCommission just leave X altogether

If you @EUCommission are concerned about #childabuse why don't you start an investigation into #JeffreyEpstein?

Is the content in question #antisemitic based on the #zionism and #genocidefriendly #IHRA definition, or according to the much more accurate and #antiracist #jerusalemdeclaration?

No response isn't social and nothing less than ignorance on purpose, isn't it? At least for a democratic institution, right? Unfortunately, dodging questions doesn't make them fade away, but feeds the #mandelaeffect massively. Imho #Transparency can only improve your situation.

@EUCommission So you're starting by closing all your accounts on X, right?

@BartV @EUCommission That would be a good start. And while you're at it, start a campaign to stimulate the usage of distributed social media like Mastodon.

@EUCommission it would be cool if they had to pay per violation, and not just once

@EUCommission
Good and frankly long overdue step.

Furthermore, as others have already mentioned, withdrawing from that platform would also be a correct step. Yes, it's a bit different from the position of institution since you need to reach people somehow (kind of like journalists need to stick to even some nasty spaces) however:

A) That corner of space should be under YOUR control. Basically what you're doing with Mastodon presence is the way to go. Your instance, your infrastructure, without reliance on external actors, especially now

B) It must COMPLEMENT the official channels, not replace them. Your social outreach must not become what the US institutions (and I use the term loosely) are doing.

So yes, you're walking in the right direction and there's still room for growth.
Also, probably the most important thing: Social media must be "people first" not "engagement first".

@EUCommission you should have read my conversations. He was semi-normal, then we injected him into Hitler. He got a Israel lobotomy and now it's Mussolini. 👁️ https://www.youtube.com/live/0MDfKTJQQyE?si=hdFowGGNa66JuZll

@EUCommission This really does look like a deliberate “we’ll find the edge by hitting it” strategy. It’s very old-school Silicon Valley, almost nostalgic in a bad way. Move fast, ship first, apologize later, let regulators chase you. That approach worked in a world where the worst thing you broke was a photo sharing app or a social graph.

@EUCommission Making companies that breach the DSA pay a little fee, won't work. Companies that continuously and deliberately breach the DSA and don't cooperate with the European authorities must be banned for 1 year at least nad 2 years for the 2nd time. Companies that continue to violate European law should be banned permanently. Just an idea, but you gotta do something. And how about not using X? That would be a really great start!

@EUCommission Ok. BUT leave X now. You already have an own instance and a vicepresident in mastodon @HennaVirkkunen . Just follow the leader. You are working for the enemy everytime you post on X.

@EUCommission I think is a wonderful opportunity for a system to keep reminding you until this is fixed…

@EUCommission But you still use it. Maybe it's time to opt out.

@EUCommission - Absolutely 100%. Kick Musk where it hurts the most. His WALLET or is it His MURSE "man's purse".

@EUCommission ban X from the EU, enforce other social networks. That's the only way to hold them accountable.

@EUCommission We'll see. 🍿
