A clash may be brewing between Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk and the European Union

EU officials warning that the site could be blocked, if it doesn’t make a commitment to moderate its content.

According to the Financial Times, Breton said Twitter needed to make a number of changes to meet the DSA’s requirements.

It wants Twitter to “aggressively” tackle disinformation, submit to an audit and provide clear criteria about which users are at risk of being banned.

The EU also wants Twitter to carefully consider how it lifts bans in the future.

Breton posted a full “DSA Checklist,” via his Mastodon account, containing the rules he said Twitter will need to abide by.

Failing to comply with the DSA can result in an EU-wide ban or fines of up to 6 percent of global turnover when it comes into force, which Politico reports may not happen until early 2024.

West Virginia AG John McCuskey sues Apple for failing to block child abuse material on iCloud and iOS devices.

West Virginia’s attorney general John McCuskey has filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc., alleging the tech giant failed to properly prevent child sexual abuse material from circulating on iCloud and iOS devices. The legal action claims the company’s strong stance on user privacy may have come at the expense of child safety protections.

McCuskey argues that other major tech firms, including Google and Microsoft, have taken stronger steps to detect and remove such content. The lawsuit intensifies scrutiny on how Silicon Valley balances encryption, privacy, and online safety.

The case could have major implications for Apple’s privacy-first branding and how platforms police illegal material moving forward.
