We will see what the reactions will be on the other side of the Atlantic and whether the US will take any retaliatory measures. Within the EU itself, there are divisions over the implementation of the DSA.

What was the main issue? X introduced paid verification (X Premium), allowing anyone to buy a "blue check" without identity verification.
