Elon Musk's X Faces EU Penalty Warning For Failing To Control Harmful Content
The European Union is set to issue a formal warning to X, Elon Musk's social media platform (formerly known as Twitter), for failing to tackle dangerous content.
欧盟将对X公司(埃隆·马斯克的社交媒体平台，前名为Twitter)发出正式警告，因其未能防范危险内容。
This marks the third significant action by EU regulators against major tech firms in recent weeks.
这是近几周欧盟监管机构对主要科技公司采取的第三项重要行动。
According to a Bloomberg report, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton is expected to announce the warning, which may lead to fines of up to 6% of X's revenue, before the EU's summer recess.
据彭博社报道，内部市场专员蒂埃里·布雷顿预计将宣布警告，可能导致X公司营业收入高达6%的罚款，此前在欧盟的暑期休假前。
If X does not address the European Commission's preliminary findings, the authority could finalize a decision before year-end, potentially resulting in financial penalties for non-compliance.
如果X公司未解决欧洲委员会的初步调查结果，该机构可能在年底之前作出决定，可能导致财务处罚。
This action follows an EU investigation into X's content management after the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
此举是在欧盟对X公司进行内容管理调查后采取的行动，该调查是在10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列之后进行的。
The EU has also initiated inquiries into Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), AliExpress, and ByteDance Ltd.'s TikTok handling their content.
欧盟还对Meta Platforms公司（纳斯达克：META）、AliExpress和字节跳动（TikTok）的处理其内容进行了调查。
