5 Dec 2025 XEuropean Commission: 120 million EUR DSA fine against X over blue checkmark and advertising repository EU levelPlatform obligations €120m

First non-compliance decision under the Digital Services Act (DSA): the European Commission imposed 120 million EUR on X because the purchasable ‘verified’ checkmark deceives users, the advertising repository lacks essential information (content, topic, advertiser) and researchers are denied access to public data. X must present remedies within 60 working days and an action plan within 90 working days respectively.

What organisations can take from it

Use verification and trust symbols only if verification actually takes place – otherwise they are treated as deceptive design.
