According to X’s latest “Transparency Report” to the European Union, nearly 90% of requests to the social media platform for information on users who posted “illegal or harmful speech” came from just one country: Germany.

Note that X, rebranded as a “free speech platform,” provides information on platform users to the governments of the European Union (EU) member states in connection with not just illegal speech — and, yes, national legislation in EU countries includes many “speech crimes” — but also legal speech that is deemed “harmful.”

This is the real innovation involved in the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA): It creates an obligation for platforms to take action in the form of “content moderation” against not just illegal content, but also ostensibly harmful content such as “disinformation.”
