Censorship is exactly what this is. If the fine is paid or not Europe will still be filed with online scams. This is almost defamatory as to suggest that Europeans were defrauded by blue check marks while making no claim evidence or suggestion of injury. (no damages). In scientific terms it's confirmation bias


> Censorship is exactly what this is.

What of this is censorship?

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_...

Not a single word about removing anything in this.


It's technically not censorship. Just a massive fine for not censoring


What actions ?


You should probably read the article.


I read the article it's about blue check marks, I'm replying to a comment that says that the fine should be higher and should apply to more people? Is he really suggesting blue check marks as the action requiring more than 120 million dollar fine and be applied to more big corps ? Which big corps and what specifically are their "blue check marks" action that warrants bazillion dollar fines?????


> I read the article it's about blue check marks,

Why lie so blatantly? This is what was in the article:

> EU regulators said X's DSA violations included the deceptive design of its blue checkmark for verified accounts, the lack of transparency of its advertising repository and its failure to provide researchers access to public data.

Can you count? I count three distinct claims, not one.


So what is a reasonable fine and who are the other big corps ?????


Good thing you mention that, that is also all stated in the article. Whole lotta words in there!


I thought that the question was actually really good, the existence of news articles doesn't really demonstrate state action...

Edit: the news article don't mention legal action being started or being prepared...
