[muriel_volestrangler]

The EU has threatened Twitter owner Elon Musk with sanctions after several journalists covering the company had their accounts abruptly suspended.
...
EU commissioner Vera Jourova warned that the EU's Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom.
...
The sanctions could be applied under a new Digital Services Act, which is currently going through the EU Parliament but could be in force by next year.

Under the terms of the proposed new law, the EU Commission will be allowed to impose fines of up to 6% of the global turnover of a service provider that it finds breaks its rules.

"News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct.
@elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon."
