EU Accuses Musk's X of Deceptive Practices and Rule Breaches

The European Union has accused X, formerly known as Twitter, of using deceptive "dark patterns" to mislead users, particularly through its blue checkmark system. These practices allegedly violate the EU's Digital Services Act, which aims to ensure transparency and accountability in digital platforms. The EU's findings suggest that X's current verification system can mislead users about the authenticity of accounts, undermining trust and informed decision-making.
