Op 5 december 2025 legde de Europese Commissie X (voorheen Twitter) een boete van 120 miljoen euro op op grond van de Wet op digitale diensten. Het besluit werd gemotiveerd door meerdere vermeende inbreuken op de DSA, waaronder een misleidende opzet van de \u201cblauwe vink\u201d-functies, onvoldoende transparantie in het advertentiearchief en ontoereikende toegang tot gegevens voor onderzoek. X uitte scherpe kritiek op het besluit. Arno Bausemer, politicus op het gebied van Europees beleid van de ESN-fractie en lid van de IMCO-commissie, verklaarde:<\/p>\n

\u201cDeze boete van 120 miljoen euro tegen X is opnieuw het bewijs dat de Commissie de Wet op digitale diensten (DSA) misbruikt als politiek machtsinstrument. De DSA is een censuurinstrument, niets meer en niets minder. In plaats van echte problemen op te lossen, hanteert Brussel de strafknuppel tegen een platform omdat het blijkbaar een hekel heeft aan het vrije debat dat daar plaatsvindt. Ook Elon Musk heeft de EU herhaaldelijk rechtstreeks bekritiseerd. Aangezien men \u2013 in tegenstelling tot in Duitsland bij een onjuiste meningsuiting \u2013 niet zomaar zijn deuren kan intrappen, probeert de EU kritiek op deze manier te bestraffen.<\/p>\n

Dit is geen neutrale handhaving van de wet meer; het is een poging tot intimidatie \u2013 gefinancierd door de arrogantie van een autoriteit die meent het recht te hebben om te bepalen wat waar is en hoe ver iets kan reiken. Wij stellen duidelijk: het internet heeft vrijheid nodig, geen EU-censuur via een achterdeurtje. De DSA moet worden afgeschaft!\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
