Elon Musk's X vs. The EU's Digital Services Act

Description

A screenshot of a post from the social media platform X, detailing a public dispute between Elon Musk and the European Commission. In the primary post, Elon Musk claims that the European Commission offered X an 'illegal secret deal' to quietly censor speech to avoid fines, a deal he alleges other platforms accepted but X refused. This post is a direct response to a quoted post from Margrethe Vestager, an EU official, which states that X is not in compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA) regarding transparency, ad repositories, and data access for researchers. The image captures a significant moment in the ongoing global debate about tech regulation, platform governance, and content moderation, pitting a major tech platform's free-speech-absolutist stance against a powerful regulatory body's new legal framework. It is highly relevant to tech professionals as it illustrates the real-world legal and ethical challenges of operating global platforms

    The EU's 'preliminary findings' are just the result of X failing the CI/CD pipeline for the 'Digital Services Act' compliance check. Elon's claiming the test itself is a backdoor

    Somewhere in the monorepo, a freshly merged ‘silence_user(…)’ function just tripped the new EU-DSA linter - apparently /* TODO: don’t tell anyone */ isn’t an acceptable privacy notice

    Ah yes, the classic 'git blame --everyone-else' defense strategy - where your production incident response is just tweeting that competitors accepted the same bug as a feature while you heroically refused to merge the compliance PR

    When your platform's compliance strategy is 'move fast and break regulatory frameworks' but the EU's GDPR team has entered the chat with a preliminary findings document. Classic case of optimistic locking meets distributed consensus failure - except the transaction can't be rolled back and the fine is measured in percentage points of global revenue

    EU's DSA preliminary findings on X: like a linter flagging your repo for missing transparency commits, but X refuses the auto-fix squash

    DSA requirement: “provide a research API”; enterprise response: “we did - behind OAuth, a CAPTCHA, 10 req/day, and a Kafka topic named compliance_opt_out.”

    Nothing says platform transparency like a write-only audit log and an API gateway rule that returns 200 to ad buyers, 451 to researchers, and a press release to regulators

    Elon said this, thus must be true

    1. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

      Guy which delete viewing someone likes, bcs someone spotted him liking cuck porn can't lie, right?

    2. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

          Well this sounds like the EU to me... and I am European

                  "Elon is bad because Elon is bad" so him saying the EU is a maffia must be a lie and not important

                  1. @Sp1cyP3pp3r 2y

                    I've never said that.

    3. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

      I sense high level of sarcasm here

  9. @Vintego 2y

    EU is mafia, so no surprise

    1. @ZhongXenon 2y

      The CCP here wants to tell that the EU isn't a mafia, so don't worry

      1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

        Ah if the CCP says it I think I can believe

        1. @ZhongXenon 2y

          You better

  10. @Agent1378 2y

    Shitstorm about to start, or not

    1. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

      i hope it will

  11. @AmindaEU 2y

    I am taking that with a lot of salt for it coming from Elon...

    1. @AmindaEU 2y

      Otherwise I am aware of the EU having a lot of room for improvement when it comes to ICT https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/

  12. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

    also, don't forget that Elon is guy which love sucking himself more than breathing

    1. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

    3. @Sp1cyP3pp3r 2y

      Didn't expect him to be that big

    4. @kandiesky 2y

      It doesn't change the fact that EU is doing something terribly wrong

      1. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

        that just means, that both on them are shit-talkers, and it's very likely that Elon just lying (but i can say thank you to EU for 1 thing, and that for making apple use USB-C)

        1. @Sp1cyP3pp3r 2y

          EU my beloved

        2. @kandiesky 2y

          I really doubt Elon is lying here. As much as I think he's not the best human possible, the EU has been doing a LOT of evil things lately. Also, making Apple use USB-C is indiferent as it changes absolutely nothing

          1. @Sp1cyP3pp3r 2y

            You're not getting Schengen any time soon

          2. @qtsmolcat 2y

            Elon is the free speech absolutist until it makes him feel bad

            1. @kandiesky 2y

              Yeah. Agree

            2. @Hollow_Arigo 2y

              Gold quote, im gonna save this one

          3. @qtsmolcat 2y

            Except it makes apple use the standard EVERYONE ELSE uses instead of basically cable DRM

            1. @kandiesky 2y

              It will not, tho. They'll find a way to screw you. And if people don't like it, they should not buy it. Simple as that

              1. @qtsmolcat 2y

                Except they won't because apple has also made it so if you don't have an iPhone but your friends do it fucks you over

                1. @kandiesky 2y

                  So? Don't buy an iPhone You don't agree with the idea, you don't buy the product

                  1. @kandiesky 2y

                    iPhones aren't essential and aren't even the best phones

                  2. @qtsmolcat 2y

                    Ah yes, the apple fanboy take

                    1. @kandiesky 2y

                      Nah. I hate Apple and I don't buy ANY of their products after I lost a Apple pencil because I forgot to fucking charge it for 2 months Vote with your wallets

      2. @Agent1378 2y

        As does practically any other coubtry in the whole world

        1. @kandiesky 2y

          Yeah. Sadly. Doesn't excuse anything tho

    5. @Agent1378 2y

      Its just a matter of ability, anyone would do it, if were able to

  13. @Direktorchata 2y

    Free speech, sure.

  14. @waifu_anton 2y

    Musk is a clown

  15. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

    Or was I wrong?
