The European Union is investigating X to ensure it’s complying with the Digital Services Act. It’s received word about the “alleged spreading of illegal content and disinformation” on the platform that used to be Twitter.

The European Union has formally opened an investigation into X, the platform previously known as Twitter, to ensure it’s complying with the Digital Services Act following Hamas’ attack on Israel in early October and subsequent Israeli air assault on Gaza. According to the request, this comes after “indications received by the Commission services of the alleged spreading of illegal content and disinformation, in particular the spreading of terrorist and violent content and hate speech.

Investigators are reportedly asking X on what the company’s protocols are during crisis situations, according to the Financial Times. In his letter from earlier this week, Brenton noted the media has widely reported misleading imagery on X that includes previous armed conflicts as well as doctored ones. The probe at X is the first under the new DSA, the Financial Times says.
