The social media platform X, owned by American entrepreneur Elon Musk, issued a statement on the 20th stating that the company has filed an appeal with the European Union General Court against the €120 million fine imposed by the European Commission under the Digital Services Act. X stated that the relevant decision made by the European Commission on December 5, 2025, was based on an “incomplete and superficial” investigation, contained “serious procedural errors,” and made a “strained interpretation” of the obligations under the Digital Services Act. X also claimed that the decision “systematically” infringes on its right to defense and violates fundamental due process requirements, indicating that the prosecution “has bias.” (Xinhua)
