This includes ditching an &#8220;arbitrary&#8221; approach to reinstating banned users and &#8220;aggressively&#8221; fighting off so-called disinformation, reports the <a href=\"https:\/\/12ft.io\/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcontent%2Fa07ca1ae-9f9a-46ee-9457-27bb30e18ed2\">Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Musk was told that he must abide by those rules or he would be infringing on the EU&#8217;s Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets standards on how big tech sites moderate their content. Breton said that Twitter could face a Europe-wide ban or fines if the criteria are not met.<\/p>\n<p>Musk said that the DSA was &#8220;very sensible&#8221; and said that he believed the legislation was legitimate. The measures appear to be in direct response to Musk&#8217;s stance as a &#8220;free speech absolutist.&#8221; The EU is demanding that Musk provide clear criteria on which users are at risk of being banned.<\/p>\n<p>The EU is also demanding that Twitter commit to an audit by the summer of next year.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has reinstated several high-profile accounts, including former President Donald Trump who was banned after the events on January 6, 2021, as well as Kanye West who was suspended for violating Twitter&#8217;s rules on hate speech.<\/p>\n<p>Musk said after buying the site that an &#8220;independent moderation council&#8221; would be made before any banned accounts were reinstated.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, however, Musk said, &#8220;A large coalition of political\/social activist groups agreed not to try to kill Twitter by starving us of advertising revenue if I agreed to this condition.
