Musk's X platform has appealed the European Commission's €120 million fine.

PANews reported on February 21 that, according to the European media outlet Brussels Times, Elon Musk's X platform has appealed the €120 million fine imposed by the European Union for alleged violations of the Digital Services Act. This fine, imposed by the European Commission last December, is the first penalty issued by the EU under this digital regulatory law, which requires large platforms to combat illegal content, misinformation, and abuse. In a statement released on its own platform, X stated that it is appealing the penalty, arguing that the EU investigation was flawed. The company stated: "This decision stems from an incomplete and superficial investigation, with serious procedural errors, a misinterpretation of obligations under the Digital Services Act, and a systematic violation of the right to defense and due process."
