EU Official: Twitter Must Prepare for New Big Tech Rules in Europe.

Twitter needs to do more work to comply with the European Union's Digital Services Act, according to European Commissioner Thierry Breton. The act requires companies to crack down on hate speech, disinformation and other harmful and illegal material on their sites. The law takes effect on August 25 for the biggest platforms. Breton oversaw a "stress test" of Twitter's systems in Silicon Valley to test its readiness to cope with the DSA's requirements. Twitter's global government affairs team tweeted that the company is "on track to be ready when the DSA comes into force."
