Europe Demands Elon Musk's X to Reveal Recommendation Algorithm Details
The European Commission has requested Elon Musk's X to submit internal documentation regarding its content recommendation algorithms. This investigation aims to assess compliance with the Digital Services Act. Amidst allegations of Musk's influence on Germany's upcoming federal elections, the Commission clarifies that this request is not directly linked to those claims. The EC's inquiry expands on a prior probe initiated in 2023, emphasizing the need for transparency. A retention order has also been issued for X to document any future algorithm changes until the end of 2025.
