A group of approximately 40 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), including Greek MEP E. Fragkos, have sent a letter to the European Commission seeking clarification on recent claims made by Elon Musk. Musk suggested that the European Commission is secretly attempting to impose political censorship online, a statement that has sparked controversy and concern among some members of the European Parliament.
The letter, authored by the MEPs, requests that the European Commission publicly confirm or deny Musk’s allegations. The lawmakers emphasize the importance of transparency regarding the Commission’s policies and actions related to online content moderation and censorship. They call for clarity to ensure public trust and prevent misinformation about the European Union’s approach to internet regulation.
The European Commission has yet to issue an official response to the letter. This development comes amid ongoing debates over internet governance, free speech, and the role of tech companies within the EU. The MEPs’ inquiry highlights the broader concern over the influence of social media platforms and the transparency of regulatory measures in digital spaces.
