The Berlin Regional Court has mandated that X must provide real-time access to data regarding the upcoming German elections, as set forth in an injunction until February 25. The order comes in response to accusations from Democracy Reporting International and the Society for Civil Rights, who contend that X has obstructed their ability to monitor potential electoral interference by restricting access to engagement metrics. The ruling ties into the EU Digital Services Act, which obligates platforms to share data for risk analysis. Meanwhile, X’s compliance in other countries, like Turkey, indicates a disparity influenced by business necessities.
X has been instructed by the Berlin Regional Court to provide real-time access to election data to monitor potential interferences, revealing discrepancies in its global compliance.
The EU Digital Services Act mandates platforms like X to grant access for systemic risk analysis, yet X’s selective compliance raises questions about its transparency.
