The European Commission has accepted X's action plan to address breaches of the Digital Services Act, following a December 2025 finding of non-compliance and a fine. X committed to improving its advertising transparency repository, enabling API access to ad data, and providing eligible researchers free access to public data. An independent audit will assess implementation over a six-month window. The Board for Digital Services considered the plan only partially adequate, and the Commission has flagged additional requirements X must address. This is an EU platform regulation enforcement matter with no direct AI governance dimension.
