Green Party Chief Franziska Brantner has called on the EU Commission to investigate possible manipulation of public opinion on the X platform. The question of manipulation is whether X owner Elon Musk has set the algorithms so that his posts, for example, always and everywhere appear, Brantner told the “Tagesspiegel” (Friday edition). This must be urgently checked by the EU Commission, as the CDU in the European Parliament also demands, Brantner said.
“Even the richest man in the world must respect our law” she explained. “With the Digital Services Act, we have the opportunity to address this at the European level.” Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) is now under obligation to apply this consistently.
