Summary
The European Commission said Wednesday that X agreed to change its data-access and transparency tools to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act.
The move follows the commission’s December finding that X breached the law through deceptive blue checkmarks and failures to meet transparency obligations.
X committed to speed up and improve search in its ad repository and to give researchers free access to public platform data.
The commission said the measures should give researchers, civil society and the public better visibility into X’s systems, helping them monitor systemic risks and the platform’s broader impact in Europe.
