EU accuses X (formerly Twitter) of deceptive blue checks
Summary: The European Union accuses X, formerly Twitter, of deceptive blue checkmarks and lack of transparency under the Digital Services Act. X's blue checks are considered "dark patterns" and fail to meet industry standards. The platform also falls short on ad transparency and public data access. X has the opportunity to respond and comply, facing penalties up to 6% of annual revenue if changes are not made. Other tech companies are also under investigation.
