One year after entry into force of the #DigitalServicesAct, #Musk's platform #X is still not complying with the law.
Together with @apti we alerted X that its 'Help' pages in most EU languages except English are misleading. They're sending #TrustedFlaggers who want to notify infringing content to a submission form that does not work.
Means to flag infringing content is mandatory under the #DSA. We have asked X to correct its pages by March 3, 2025 and will keep you posted on their response
Time for action!
Today, we filed a formal #DSA complaint against X in Ireland, together with our Romanian member @apti.
We show how X misleads #TrustedFlaggers to use a wrong, non-functional online form in all EU languages but English.
Reminder: A few weeks ago we asked #X to rectify their faulty online forms, but while they thanked us for the info they didn't actually do anything about it

UPDATE: Just hours after filing the complaint against X in Ireland, and sharing about it social media and on our website, we found that the previously faulty online forms misleading Trusted Flaggers had started being updated to reflect the correct English version!
It's evident:
Laws like the #DSA are a powerful tool to reign in tech giants and make our online lives safer.
Civil society organisations are playing a key role in the enforcement of EU’s digital rules by acting as watchdogs
