X sues Ireland's media commission over censorship

X Corp is suing Ireland's media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, over an online safety code that it claims infringes on users' freedom of expression. The code requires platforms like X to remove content seen as bullying or humiliating and to suspend offending users.

X argues that this exceeds the regulator's authority, violating the Digital Services Act, which allows platforms discretion in content moderation. The code was developed following the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act (2022) and is designed to hold social media accountable for harmful content like hate speech.
