JAKARTA - The European Union's (EU) focus on eradicating disinformation seems to be dragging down platform X, formerly Twitter. X was accused of playing a major role in spreading misinformation.

In the EU government's findings published in X, Elon Musk's platform has a very large ratio of disinformation posts. In fact, this ratio beats disinformation on other social media.

Quoted from Engadget, European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova reminded that all large platforms need to adapt their actions in dealing with the problem of disinformation.

The EU will soon face elections so eradicating disinformation is very important. Therefore, Jourova emphasized on all platforms to comply with the Code of Practice created by the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Platform X must also comply with the Code of Ethics. In fact, Jourova emphasized to X to be more obedient to the rules. He will also continue to monitor X's actions in dealing with disinformation.

The DSA that recently came into effect requires all major platforms to disclose details of their handling of disinformation. However, X didn't want to do it. Even so, X admitted that he would comply with DSA policies regarding disinformation.

X also responded to the accusations made by the EU government. Through the Global Government Affairs account, X believes that the data used by the EU is not correct. The platform also confirmed that it remains DSA compliant to date.
