Brussels today announced it is demanding internal documentation on the
recommendation systems of the site formerly known as Twitter and any
recent changes by February 15. The Commission also wants access to
some of X's commercial APIs "that allow direct fact-finding on content
moderation and virality of accounts."

In addition, the Commission has issued a retention order to X
requiring it to preserve documents regarding both planned and recent
changes to the site's content recommendation engines between now and
the end of 2025.
