Odaily Planet Daily report: On the 13th, Thomas Renier, spokesperson for the European Commission responsible for digital economy affairs, stated at a press conference that Elon Musk’s social media platform X has submitted a remediation plan to the European Commission regarding its “blue checkmark verification.” In December 2025, the European Commission issued its first non-compliance decision under the Digital Services Act, imposing a fine of €120 million on X. The EU accused X of allowing users to obtain the “blue checkmark” solely through payment, which is misleading in its interface design; its ad library fails to meet requirements for transparency and accessibility; and X has not granted public data access to qualified researchers as required.
