Following the Hamas attack in Israel in October 2023, the European Commission sent X a request for information under the DSA regarding “the alleged spreading of illegal content and disinformation, in particular the spreading of terrorist and violent content and hate speech.” While the Commission has launched 10 DSA investigations, any penalties against X would break new ground, marking a significant escalation in the EU's efforts to ensure large online platforms are accountable for the content and risks they facilitate. If a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) or Search Engine (VLOSE) is found in violation of the DSA, the European Commission would have to notify the company of the infringement (i.e., illegal content) and then provide a “reasonable period” for the company to remedy it.
