On Saturday, X says it slapped the European Commission with a ban on its X ad account over what it has deemed a rule violation. Coincidentally enough, the European Commission had just slapped that social media platform with a fine of about $140 Million a day earlier for alleged deceptiveness and lack of transparency, and for allegedly withholding necessary data disclosures.
But the European Commission says it doesn’t pay for ads on X anyway—a Commission policy that has stood for over two years.
According to an X post by X head of product Nikita Bier, the European Commission’s tweet announcing the fine was itself deceptive. Bier says there’s an exploit in the X ad composer, and that the European Commission used it “to post a link that deceives users into thinking it’s a video and to artificially increase its reach.”
