Today, the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The breaches include the deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark', the lack of transparency of its advertising repository, and the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.

Wow! It's like they would give me a 1 cts fine, and only because there's not a lower coin.

They're asserting €120M for X is equivalent to 1¢ for us plebes. An ignorable cost of doing business.

Move that decimal point to the right once or twice if you want Phony Stark to meaningfully react, because this is just a slap on the wrist.

You know, it would be funny if they just kept reissuing the fine for the same amount over and over and musk kept paying it everyday, too stuffed out of his mind to realize it was a different fine.

Just read the article. The arguments given feel like they could easily be used to push more anti-privacy laws, and considering how pushy they are, I feel inclined to think that's the case. Also using Twitter as the target, they can induce people to cause noise for the subject.
