Reuters writes about it. As part of an investigation launched in December 2023, the EU executive said it was asking X to provide internal documentation on the recommendation system that suggests content to users, as well as any recent changes made to it, by February 15. “Today we are taking further steps to shed light on the compliance of X recommender systems with the obligations under the DSA,” said the head of the EU’s digital directorate, Hennna Virkkunen, referring to the EU’s Digital Services Act.Advertisement: The Commission issued a “preservation order” which requires X to retain internal documents and information regarding future changes in the design and operation of the recommendation algorithms for the period from January 17 to the end of 2025. It also requested access to certain technical interfaces X. “These steps will allow the Commission’s services to take into account all relevant facts in the DSA’s comprehensive assessment of systemic risks and their mitigation,” the Commission said.
