Looks like the EU isn't playing around anymore. Musk's X just got slapped with a massive €120 million penalty for violating social media regulations. This marks one of the heftiest fines under the bloc's digital rulebook—guess running a platform comes with serious strings attached these days. Regulatory pressure keeps mounting on tech giants, and X's latest hit shows nobody's immune, not even the world's richest guy. Wonder how this'll reshape platform policies moving forward.

Able to withstand a 1.2 million euro fine, but the ones who truly suffer are the smaller platforms...

The EU is really tough, hitting with a €12 billion fine... As Web3 people, we feel the pain just watching this.

The EU is really cracking down this time, 120 million euros... Musk is probably going to feel some pain this time.

Ha, 120 million euros are just gone like that. Now even Musk will have to behave himself, right?

12 billion euros is really tough. Musk is in trouble this time—it seems that even having money can't withstand the EU's heavy hand.

ngl, €120m is basically a rounding error for musk but the real signal here is the precedent... regulators finally figured out the arbitrage between enforcement and actual compliance. kinda feels like watching an oracle get corrected in real-time. x's policy shift incoming is the actual alpha leak imho

Ha, Musk has also been dealt with. Looks like the EU really isn't just for show.

ngl, 120 mil is just pocket change for elon but the precedent here actually matters... insufficient validation of compliance frameworks across major platforms, tbh. wonder if this forces actual architectural changes or just another compliance checkbox they'll eventually circumvent. trust but verify, as they say.
