European Commission approves X platform's ad transparency and data access plan

The European Commission has accepted the measures proposed by X platform to address breaches of the Digital Services Act. The commitments require the platform to operate a public advertising registry with enhanced search filters and to provide eligible researchers free, API‑based access to its public data. The Commission will monitor implementation, and X must submit an independent audit report within six months.

In Romania, the national digital services authority ANCOM will cooperate with the Commission to ensure consistent DSA enforcement, while oversight of very large online platforms remains primarily with the European Commission.
