X is designated as a Very Large Online Platform under the Digital Services Act (DSA), and is therefore obligated to mitigate systemic risks, including the spread of disinformation and the manipulation of our democratic processes. However, X has left the Code of Practice on Disinformation after failing its first stress test. Research reportedly found that it is the platform with the highest ratio of disinformation posts, and yet it has recently laid off its global disinformation team. Given this catastrophic performance, I do not believe that X can fulfil its obligations under the DSA, and could endanger the integrity of the upcoming European elections.
