 <p>The New York Times has called the inquiry the “more substantial regulatory move to dat against X,” since it lessened content moderation practices. Subsequently, they have noted such declining policies have equated to “a rise in incendiary content,” on the former Twitter.</p>
 <p>X has yet to respond to the investigation from the 27-country bloc. Conversely, development is a key part of Europe’s attempt to police internet content they deem hateful or the like. However, the United States still operates with an internet that is mostly unregulated. The EU’s Digital Services Act saw them seek more compliance regarding the moderation of online content. The Investigation into X has no deadline that has been specified, according to most recent reports.</p>
