"Not negotiable"
Head of the Federal Cartel Office: X must comply with EU law
The President of the German Federal Cartel Office, Andreas Mundt, has warned the short message service X to comply with European law. This is "non-negotiable", he told the Rheinische Post newspaper on Thursday.
Mundt cited the example of Facebook and Instagram operator Meta, which had already fulfilled "essential requirements" of the Cartel Office. Customers can now decide whether their data may be merged with Meta services and how external data may be used.
Mundt therefore advises users to find out about the existing options for data usage. In discussions with Meta, great efforts have been made to make the options understandable for users.
The designated US Vice President JD Vance had called for Tesla boss Elon Musk's platform, formerly known as Twitter, not to be regulated in the EU.
