(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 13 - Deputy Premier and Transport Minister
Matteo Salvini said it would be "extremely serious" if Elon
Musk's allegation that the European Commission offered to make
an "illegal secret deal" with X over compliance with new EU
misinformation rules were true.
Musk said the Commission had promised X would not be fined if it
"quietly censored speech without telling anyone".
He made the allegations after the Commission said X had breached
the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).
"It would be very serious if the accusations made by Elon Musk
were true," Salvini said via X.
"Enough of the Europe of gags and censorship. Long live freedom
of expression, always". (ANSA).
