Question for written answer E-001900/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Fabio De Masi (NI)
Recent press reports[1] quote the owner of social media platform X, Mr Elon Musk, stating that the Commission offered him a deal specifying that X should change its policies in order to avoid a court case that could potentially lead to fines.
I therefore ask the Commission:
Has any sort of deal been offered to X or to other social media companies, such as TikTok and Meta, in any form, in order to avoid court cases that would have been initiated based on the Digital Services Act (DSA)[2]? And if so, which directorate-general was in contact with the social media companies to discuss with them how to adhere to the DSA?
