Social network X has filed an appeal against the European Commission’s decision to impose a fine of 120 million euros
Social network X has appealed to the court the European Commission’s decision to impose a fine of 120 million euros for violating EU transparency requirements. This is stated in the statement of the company, published on February 20 on the X social network.
“X has filed an appeal with the General Court of the European Union, challenging the fine of 120 million euros imposed by the European Commission on December 5, 2025, which is the first fine for failure to comply with the requirements under the Digital Services Act (DSA),” the company said.
The company claims that the EU decision was made, in particular, “as a result of an incomplete and superficial investigation, serious procedural errors.”
“This landmark case is the first judicial challenge to a DSA fine and could set important precedents for enforcement, fine calculation and protection of fundamental rights under the 2022 regulation,” the company said.
The European Commission has fined social network X €120 million for failing to comply with its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
European regulators said X misleads users with blue verification ticks, fails to provide necessary data to researchers and has a lack of transparency in its advertising system.
