What is a problem is if the algorithm of X gets manipulated to really drive far-right content and then it becomes an issue,&#8221;\u00a0said Wolff.However\u00a0he flagged hesitancy among European governments as well as the Commission to take full-throated action against Musk lest Trump respond with a reprisal in the form of economic tariffs.\u201cWe need the political will to act. This is deadly serious,\u201d\u00a0said Riekeles, a former advisor to Michel Barnier at the European Commission.\u201cThis is about fundamental threats to our democracies, is about the restructuring of our public space, the promotion of lies, of extreme content which will make the exercise of democracy progressively more difficult or impossible,\u201d\u00a0he said.ADVERTISEMENTIncoming US Vice President JD Vance has suggested that the Trump administration could reduce or end support for NATO if the EU pursues its regulation of \u2018X\u2019.\u00a0\u201cYou always have to stand up to bullying,\u201d\u00a0said Wolff, in response to Europe being torn between the choice of applying its own regulatory system to protect democracies or riling Trump who could respond by issuing trade tariffs, or abandoning European security at a time of major peril.\u201cIf you give in immediately, the demands will only increase. And there&#8217;s no guarantee whatsoever that if you don&#8217;t stand up on X and to X and bullying on X, that then all of a sudden all security problems will be solved,\u201d he said.European regulators have been probing X since December 2023, but Musk&#8217;s close ties to Trump have raised questions about how the bloc will handle the platform and its suspected DSA violations.ADVERTISEMENTThe Commission, the German regulator, and the large digital platforms, including X, are scheduled to meet on 24 January to prevent interference during the German election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Two experts have told Euronews that the EU must ready itself to stand firm in the face of belligerence from an incoming Donald Trump regime.
