EU deepens probe into ‘X’ after Elon Musk’s outbursts on European politics

BRUSSELS: The EU on Friday demanded ‘X’ hand over more details about its algorithms and any future changes as part of its wide-ranging probe into the platform, as Elon Musk’s outbursts on European politics ramp up pressure for the bloc to act.

The European Commission, which acts as the bloc’s digital watchdog, has come under fierce scrutiny from EU lawmakers seeking tougher measures against X and Musk’s “interference” in Germany.
