Under the Digital Services Act, social media platforms like X could face significant penalties for algorithm manipulation aimed at influencing voters and electoral outcomes.
The DSA aims to combat disinformation and protect electoral integrity. Musk’s actions, including a livestream with a nationalist leader, raise alarms about potential algorithmic bias.
Recent research indicated that the X algorithm might have been altered to favor Musk's posts, thereby raising concerns about the implications for public discourse and electoral integrity.
Eliska Pirkova from Access Now highlighted that if a platform risks electoral integrity, the DSA's risk-assessment framework should be activated urgently.
