This is the best summary I could come up with:
The EU has warned that X, the social media company owned by Elon Musk, must clamp down on disinformation, after a study found that Russian propaganda was proliferating on the site.
The report examined 6,000 posts from Spain, Slovakia, and Poland made across a number of social media platforms.
“This is a multi-million euro weapon of mass manipulation aimed both internally at the Russians as well as Europeans and the rest of the world,” she continued, as cited by the BBC.
In May, he pulled X, then Twitter, out of the EU’s disinformation code of practice, a voluntary agreement signed by Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok.
Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect last month, social platforms face fines of up to 6% of their annual revenue if they fail to do so.
“Mr Musk knows that he is not off the hook by leaving the code of practice, because now we have the Digital Services Act fully enforced,” Jourova said, per the BBC.

Why aren’t there any studies showing how much manipulation is being produced from the West as well?
