NewzThe European Union's executive arm stated Friday that it is prepared to defend a €120 million ($137 million) fine against the social media platform X. The announcement follows the United States Justice Department's decision to support a legal challenge by X owner Elon Musk seeking to annul the penalty.
The EU originally issued the fine in 2025 after determining that the platform had breached the bloc's online transparency rules. The US government's backing of Musk's court challenge escalates the regulatory and diplomatic tensions surrounding enforcement of European tech standards against US-based platforms.
