Commission accepts X’s action plan to comply with Digital Services Act

The European Commission has accepted X's action plan to comply with transparency obligations and researchers' access to data under the Digital Services Act. The measures follow a December 2025 Commission decision that X breached the DSA and a fine, and they include a better advertising repository, free-of-charge data access for eligible researchers, and an independent external audit. X has six months to implement the measures, after which it must issue and submit an audit to the Commission. The Board for Digital Services considered the changes partially adequate but found X's audit measures and overall action plan insufficient to address the infringements.
