EU Investigates Elon Musk's X for Promoting Israel-Hamas Conflict

The European Commission has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's X social media platform over the spread of disinformation and violent content related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The probe follows indications of illicit content on the platform, and X has until Wednesday to respond to urgent questions. The move comes after X was found to be the worst-performing platform for combatting disinformation in an EU study. Under the EU's Digital Services Act, platforms that fail to crack down on illegal content can face fines or even be banned from operating within the bloc.
