X’s blue verified badge membership, fined in the EU!
The European Commission has issued a hefty fine of 120 million euros (about 140 million USD / 1 billion RMB) to X (formerly Twitter) for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA) 😂
In an update post, X clearly tells everyone: “This blue checkmark is now a paid membership badge. We don’t guarantee this account is the real one—don’t be misled.”
