X cuts European Commission ad account after DSA fine — what's next? In a dramatic escalation following a roughly $140 million fine under the EU’s Digital Services Act, X has disabled the European Commission’s advertising account after accusing the Commission of exploiting a flaw in X’s Ad Composer to artificially boost reach.
