BRUSSELS - The EU on Friday warned Elon Musk that Twitter could be subject to sanctions under a future media law after the"worrying" suspension of several journalists from the messaging platform.
"News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU's Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our Media Freedom Act," EU commissioner Vera Jourova posted on Twitter.Twitter suspends accounts of journalists covering MuskThe Digital Services Act requires companies serving European web users to meet strict standards against manipulative algorithms, disinformation and other online harm.
It came into force on November 16 but is not fully applicable across the EU's 27 countries until next March for the biggest online platforms -- likely to include Twitter -- and a year later for others.Companies found in violation of the DSA could be fined sums equal to up to six percent of the global revenue -- or even banned from the huge EU market.
It foresees an EU body being set up which would monitor self-regulation by very large platforms and discuss issues such as"foreign information manipulation and interference".
