Is Twitter ready for Europe’s new Big Tech rules? EU official says it has work to do

Associated Press  

Twitter needs to do more work to fall in line with the European Union’s tough new digital rulebook, a top EU official said after overseeing a “stress test” of the company’s systems in Silicon Valley. European Commissioner Thierry Breton said late Thursday that he noted the “strong commitment of Twitter to comply” with the Digital Services Act, sweeping new standards that the world’s biggest online platforms all must obey in just two months. However, “work needs to continue,” he said in a statement after reviewing the results of the voluntary test at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters with owner Elon Musk and new CEO Linda Yaccarino. “With two months to go before the new EU regulation kicks in, work needs to continue for the systems to be in place and work effectively and quickly.” Twitter’s global government affairs team tweeted that the company is “on track to be ready when the DSA comes into force.” Yaccarino tweeted that “Europe is very important to Twitter and we’re focused on our continued partnership.” Musk agreed in December to let the EU carry out the stress test, which the bloc is offering to all tech companies before the rules take effect.
