🚨 EU Hits X with €120M Fine — The Internet’s Sovereignty Battle Begins!

Yesterday, the EU fined X €120 million — not for speech, but for blue checkmarks, ad databases, and researcher access.

The distinction doesn’t matter. What just happened is the first territorial claim over the information layer of human civilization.

The facts:

First-ever fine under the Digital Services Act

€45M for “deceptive” verification

€35M for ad opacity

€40M for blocking researchers

TikTok faced the same violations and walked free; X got the invoice

The stakes are personal:

Secretary Rubio called it “an attack on the American people.” Musk says the fine hits him personally, hinting retaliation may be personal too.

Why it matters:

The 1648 Peace of Westphalia created sovereignty over physical space. Yesterday, the same question hit cyberspace: when a U.S. platform serves EU users from U.S. servers, which law rules — American speech norms or European bureaucratic control?

The answer now has a price tag — and it’s rising. The 21st century’s defining jurisdictional conflict has begun.

The internet as we knew it is over.
