Twitter faces EU scrutiny after leaving disinformation code.

TL;DR Summary
Twitter has abandoned the EU's code of practice on disinformation, but the EU's internal markets commissioner, Thierry Breton, has insisted that "obligations remain" for the social networking giant. The Digital Services Act will make fighting disinformation a legal obligation under EU law from August 25, with fines of up to 6% of a company's annual revenue. Twitter is one of eight social media platforms that fall under the scope of the DSA. Breton has publicly vowed that he would personally hold Elon Musk to account for complying with the EU's content rules.
