Twitter to Exit EU Disinformation Agreement, Despite Pushback.
TL;DR Summary
Twitter is set to pull out of the EU's voluntary code of practice on disinformation, which it signed up to last June along with other major tech companies. The move will happen once Elon Musk approves the plan next week, according to Politico. Compliance with the code helps mitigate the bloc's Digital Services Act, which could result in fines of up to 6% of a company's annual revenue for breaking the rules. EU officials previously criticized Twitter for a poor report on its compliance with the code.
