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

@EUCommission Thus spoke the EU Commission, whilst and at the same time stubbornly keeping putting its own data and processes in the greedy hands of another equally dismal company, against the expressed concerns and directives from the EU parliament.

Walk the walk. Don’t just talk the talk.

@EUCommission Stop posting on them then. Stop using them then. You and everyone else in European institutions. Social media companies are making money through the ads that are being displayed next to the content posted by regular users. No posts from regular users means less ads displayed, which in turn means less money for them.

@EUCommission

Vielleicht könnte sich die EU-Kommission angesichts der Verfehlungen auch dazu durchringen, auf X als Nachrichten-Medium zu verzichten. Es fühlt sich so ähnlich an, als würde die EU-Kommission wegen der Reichweite in Compact inserieren.

LOL.

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

We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights." (emphasis added)

#X (17 mins ago): "We have launched a new formal investigation against X under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

It will assess whether the company properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok's functionalities into X in the EU." (emphasis added)

@EUCommission

@katzenberger @EUCommission Fair point. Very icky.

@EUCommission
Nunrersuchungen sind ja ganz notwendig , Besser wäre es aber:Keine Kostenplichtigen Accounts mehr, keine relevanten Werbungen, Keinewichtigen Teilnehmer mehr auf dieser Dreckschleuder X.
Es gibt gute Europäische Alternativen!!!

@haraldrieder @EUCommission

Das würde zumindest gut zur Resolution in Sachen digitale Souveränität passen.

EU-Parlament: Große Mehrheit stimmt für digitale Souveränität

Fraktionsübergreifend hat das EU-Parlament eine Resolution angenommen, die gegen digitale Abhängigkeit von Technologiekonzernen wirken will. EU-Kommission und Mitgliedsländer werden zu einer Bestandsaufnahme und konkreten Gegenmaßnahmen aufgefordert.

@EUCommission I'll believe it once I see it. As of now you're actively funding X by having a presence there - and posting regularly - hence directing ad income their way.

@EUCommission

@EUCommission Then stop taking money from the lobby groups, stop deregulation, start holding them accountable. 155 Million Euros in lobby money in 2025 divided between 733 lobby groups, the biggest spenders are the usual suspects.

All our data go to US tech corporations for whatever purposes while we in turn get the right-wing propaganda by the big players who are all firmly behind Trump whose goal it is to destroy NATO and the EU. What could go wrong, right?

Big Tech lobby budgets hit record levels | Corporate Europe Observatory

New figures show that the digital industry as a whole is now spending €151 million a year on lobbying the EU, a major increase to what was already considerable firepower.

@EUCommission "In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights."

Great news!! So, you are going to take down petrochemical industries that attack our fundamental right to a good health, for example? 😀

@EUCommission Sounds good, but I think I'd be more inclined to believe you were serious about it if you didn't still have an active Twitter account.

@EUCommission

no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Shouldn't anyone who tries then be suspended until the end of the investigation? Or is not damaging their revenue more important than not harming citizen rights?

@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
