Dear Commissioner Breton, We are writing to you in response to your recent letter addressed to X, where you raised concerns in the context of far-right riots in the UK as well as the conversation between the US presidential candidate Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk, which was live-streamed hours after your letter was posted on X. It is clear that X has an obligation under the DSA to assess and adequately mitigate systemic risks stemming from its operations.
