X Files Appeal Against €120M EU Fine Under Digital Services Act X filed an appeal at the General Court of the European Union challenging the €120 million fine imposed by the European Commission on 5 December 2025, the first non-compliance fine under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This EU Decision resulted from an incomplete and superficial investigation, grave procedural errors, a tortured interpretation of the obligations under the DSA, and systematic breaches of rights of defence and basic due process requirements suggesting prosecutorial bias. This landmark case is the first judicial challenge to a DSA fine and could set important precedents for enforcement, penalty calculations, and fundamental rights protections under the 2022 regulation. X remains committed to user safety and transparency while defending our users' access to the only global town square.

XRP is showing a power move after the Clarity Act. Why it's leading: - $XRP is the biggest direct beneficiary of clearer US crypto rules. - $XRP is built for payments and cross-border money transfers. The Clarity Act gives Ripple legal clarity to expand RLUSD (their stablecoin) inside the US. - $XLM, $ADA, and $HBAR are rallying for the same reason. They're all payment-focused coins that win under the new rules.

NEWS: X sued New York over a hate speech law and lost In December 2024 New York passed the Stop Hiding Hate Act. It applies to social media companies making $100M or more a year. Twice a year they file a report with the state attorney general explaining how they handle hate speech, extremism, harassment, foreign interference and disinformation. The law does not tell them to remove anything. Only to explain their own rules and report the numbers. Ignore it and the fine runs up to $15,000 per violation per day. It was written by Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Grace Lee with help from the Anti-Defamation League. Their letter said Musk and X had a "disturbing record" on moderation "that threatens the foundations of our democracy." X sued on 17 June 2025 in Manhattan federal court and named attorney general Letitia James. X argued the law forces it to talk about "highly sensitive and controversial speech" the state dislikes. "This is not a role that the government may play." X had real reason to expect a win. It ran this same play against California's nearly identical AB 587 and it worked. On 4 September 2024 the Ninth Circuit blocked the core reporting parts of that law. California settled in February and agreed not to enforce them. New York went the other way. On 26 August Judge John Cronan, a Trump appointee, threw the case out with prejudice. X cannot rewrite it and try again in his court. His reasoning was that the law asks for facts, not opinions. "Burger King chooses to generally offer higher-calorie items than, say, Sweetgreen, but the disclosure of calorie information remains purely factual. So too here." He also rejected X's separate claim that Section 230 blocks the law. Neither X nor the attorney general's office would comment. No appeal has been reported yet. The same argument wins in California and loses in New York. That is why the next move matters.

President Xi Jinping stressed that the Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East issue, and efforts to resolve it should be guided by four principles. 1️⃣ We must uphold political settlement, adhere to the two-State solution as the right direction, work for the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and realize the early establishment of an independent State of Palestine. 2️⃣ We must uphold the principle of Palestinians governing Palestine. Palestine is the homeland of all Palestinians. The principle of Palestinians governing Palestine should be followed in advancing the governance of the West Bank and postwar reconstruction of Gaza. 3️⃣ We must uphold humanitarianism. The international community, particularly the U.N. Security Council, should truly take up the responsibility to keep civilians safe, ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and put an end to humanitarian disasters. 4️⃣ We must uphold fairness and justice. We should act on the basis of international rule of law, aim at addressing both the symptoms and root causes, and take practical actions to realize a comprehensive, just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian question at an early date.

Wang Xingxing is making exactly the point we discussed in our Twitter Space a few days ago @broodsugar. Many robotics companies are going straight for generalized physical intelligence, building full-stack systems behind closed doors and expecting robots to work everywhere once R&D is complete. But world models require enormous compute, while real robots must run them on limited onboard hardware. That gap becomes even harder when the model needs to perceive, reason and act in real time.
