Not flagging because it is more interesting than usual for a link about Twitter:

it's the first time the law is used, and it also _strongly_ hint that they tried first to get access to the informations without legal proceedings.

The legalese is strong, but I think most of it is understandable (which is surprising).

But: Twitter is now like the 12th social network, who cares?

I think the interesting bit here is how quickly they’re going out of the gate, really; the DSA doesn’t even come into force for another two weeks. Companies who were depending on DMA and DSA enforcement being on the same basis as GDPR enforcement (ie extremely slow) may be disappointed.

The EU learned from GDPR, that member countries cannot be relied to enforce the law when some like Ireland have deliberately positioned themselves as a tax (and now GDPR) shelter for multinationals. That's why DSA and DMA enforcement is centralized in Brussels.
