US DOJ files to intervene in bid to overturn €120m EU fine against X
The US Department of Justice has filed an application with the EU's General Court seeking to join Elon Musk's and X's legal challenge to overturn the European Commission's €120m fine imposed on X in December 2025. The Commission had said X 'deceives users' by selling blue tick badges without meaningfully verifying account holders, and also accused X of failing to provide transparency around its adverts and denying researchers access to public data. US Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate said the Commission 'inappropriately attempted' to expand its reach to American companies outside its control, while the European Commission said it is 'ready to defend' its position in court.

US Justice Department backs X's bid to annul EU fine; EU vows to defend in court
The U.S. Justice Department said Thursday it had filed an application at the EU General Court to support X's bid to annul a 120 million euro ($137 million) fine that the European Commission imposed on the platform late last year for breaches of the EU's Digital Services Act, after regulators found X's blue checkmarks involved "deceptive design practices" and could expose users to scams and manipulation. The European Commission said Friday it is ready to defend the fine in court, calling enforcement of its legislation the EU's "sovereign right". The Justice Department warned that the fine, if upheld, "may have significant implications" for U.S. online platforms and other companies providing digital services in the EU.
