Elon Musk Considers Removing Twitter Service From Europe

Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing a service previously called Twitter from Europe. This is in response to the regulation of a new internet platform in the region. Musk's plan was first reported by Insider news website on Wednesday, October 18.

This billionaire has discussed the possibility of removing the availability of the app in European territory or blocking users in the European Union from being able to access it. This is known from sources familiar with the company to the publication.

The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets rules to prevent the spread of malicious content, ban or limit some user targeting practices, and share some internal data with regulators and related researchers, among others.

Platform X has not yet responded and commented on the report. Platform X has been reprimanded by the European Union for not heeding warnings from EU Business Chief Thiery Breton.
