EU Commission spokesperson on tech. The difficulty here is that the Commission sent X a provisional finding of breach of the Digital Services Act 16 months ago, and has done nothing since. So why take this expression of concern seriously?
Grok’s antisemitic output is appalling.
It goes against Europe’s fundamental rights and values.
The DSA is clear: hate speech has no place online in Europe.
We already took action on GPAI risks, including X’s chatbot in March.
We are in touch with X: the company must act on its chatbots risks.

My 2 quick takes: 1/ Awkward & unsustainable for ECtHR to simultaneously demand rapid remedial action and then repeatedly adjourn; 2/ EU has unlocked EU funding last year yet ECtHR confirms systematic rule of law issues not addressed. Who’s correct? hint: Strasbourg based institution
🇵🇱⚖️The European Court of Human Rights announced this week that it will once again adjourn, for a year, all the pending cases against Poland concerning the right to a fair trial in cases presided over by "neo-judges". A victory for the Tusk government, but how long can this situation go on? 1/
