A European regulator has issued Elon Musk a stern warning about the spread of illegal content and disinformation on X, formerly known as Twitter, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Failure to comply with the European regulations around illegal content could result in fines worth 6% of a company’s annual revenue.

Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, said in a letter addressed to Musk on Tuesday that his office has “indications” that groups are spreading misinformation and “violent and terrorist” content on X, and urged the billionaire to respond within a 24-hour period.

The letter comes after numerous researchers, news organizations and other groups have documented a rise of misleading, false and questionable content on X, creating confusion about the current conflict.

Nah, I'm sticking with my little Civic until it dies. Then find another Civic. Wash/repeat. If things go as I expect, I'll only need one more in my lifetime.

Yup, same. A few months ago I was looking into trading my 12 accord for something newer with bluetooth since my car was worth more than when I bough it thanks to the surge in demand for used cars, but then I remembered it's still got a lot of life in it and decided not to.

Yeah. I won't even be able to buy a new Civic since they've stopped with the 2 doors. I'll have to hunt down a 2020.
