Twitter intends to stick with the European Union’s new Digital Services Act (DSA) censorship rules that seek to control misinformation and hate speech online, Thierry Breton, EU commissioner for digital policy, recently said during a video call.

In a video call with Twitter owner Elon Musk, Breton discussed Twitter’s readiness to comply with the DSA that comes into effect starting September. “I take note of the path that Twitter is committed to take in Europe to comply with #DSA rules. Next few months will be crucial to transform commitments into reality. Constructive exchange with @elonmusk,” Breton said in a tweet on Feb. 1. Meanwhile, Musk claimed that he had a “good meeting” with Breton regarding the EU’s DSA.
