EU ANTITRUST REGULATORS

X plays up blue checkmark disclaimer to stave off possible EU fine

Elon Musk's X faces scrutiny from EU regulators over its blue checkmark system. The European Commission alleges X misled users. The blue checkmark now signifies paid subscription, not identity verification. X displays a disclaimer to address concerns. This action is not part of any settlement. The EU probe continues under the Digital Services Act. X could face significant fines.
