The Commission fined X 120 million euros for breaching Digital Services Act transparency rules through the design of its blue checkmark, its advertising repository and its failure to give researchers access to public data. It was the first non-compliance decision under the DSA. SpaceX's filing says the decision was addressed to X Internet Unlimited Company, X Corp., X.AI Holdings Corp. and Elon Musk.
