Twitter faces EU content moderation test under new digital laws.

TL;DR Summary
Twitter needs to do more work to comply with the European Union's Digital Services Act, according to European Commissioner Thierry Breton after overseeing a "stress test" of the company's systems in Silicon Valley. The new rules will force 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. Twitter's global government affairs team tweeted that the company is "on track to be ready when the DSA comes into force."
