Today, the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching the Digital Services Act.
That was a European Union spokesperson announcing a first-of-its-kind fine against social media platform X. The fine against the American company amounts to US$140 million. X Corp owner Elon Musk is bent on fighting the fine, and he's got some considerable help in his corner.
In this episode, we talk with the Senior Vice President for the Counter Censorship Task Force at Alliance Defending Freedom about the growing threat of global censorship, including of American citizens. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. This is a LegalWire edition of Morning Wire. This episode is brought to you by Pocket Hose, the world's number one expandable hose. Spring's here, and that means it's time to get your garden blooming again. But nothing slows you down faster than an old hose that kinks, twists, and blocks your water flow. That's where the Pocket Hose Copperhead comes in. Its clever 360-degree pocket pivot keeps water running smooth no matter where you move, so you can water every flower bed and hanging basket with ease.
And when you're done, it shrinks right back to pocket size for neat, effortless storage. Plus, it's built to last with a sturdy design and a 10-year warranty that'll see you through many springs to come. Once you use it, you'll wonder how you ever gardened without it. The brand new pocket hose copperhead and pocket pivot is a total game changer. For me, it's really helped with the blackberries and strawberries I just planted. Plus, I can't tell you enough how easy it is to use and to clean up no more green, kinked backyard hoses at our house. For a limited time, our listeners can get a free pocket pivot with their 10-pattern sprayer with the purchase of any size copperhead hose. Just text MORNING to 64000.
