ChainCatcher news, the EU threatens to impose a European ban on Twitter unless Musk complies with its strict content moderation rules.

According to informed sources, Thierry Breton, the EU commissioner responsible for enforcing the bloc's digital rules, told Musk during a video conference on Wednesday that he must adhere to a list of rules, including abandoning the "arbitrary" practice of reinstating banned users, "actively" tracking misinformation, and agreeing to a "broad independent audit" of the platform before next year.

Failure to comply with these rules could result in Twitter violating the EU's new Digital Services Act, potentially facing a ban across Europe or fines of up to 6% of global revenue. Musk has previously stated that Twitter will comply with all relevant laws. (Jin10)
