Strafe gegen X: USA wollen Musk im Prozess gegen die EU-Kommission unterstützen
Die Plattform X klagt gegen eine Millionenstrafe und erhält dafür nun Unterstützung aus Washington. Die USA werfen der EU-Kommission regulatorische Übergriffigkeit vor.
The United States is looking to support Elon Musk in a lawsuit against the European Union's commission. Musk is trying to overturn a €120 million ($136.5 million) fine imposed on his social media platform X for violating online rules. The US government has therefore filed a request with the European Union Court to participate in the proceedings.
Washington aims to assist in challenging X's request to declare the landmark decision invalid. The fine imposed by the EU Commission in December has become a point of contention in transatlantic relations. In a statement released on Thursday, the US Justice Department declared its intention to ensure that US-based digital service providers are not disadvantaged by the EU's application of rules through the Commission.
The agency criticized the use of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which it claims has unfairly been used against Musk personally.
