Regulating X content in Europe

The Digital Services Act, passed in 2022, gives regulators wide powers to force social media companies to police their platforms for hate speech, misinformation and illegal content. Companies that do not comply can face fines of up to 6 percent of global revenue. As Elon Musk’s geopolitical influence grows because of his closeness to incoming President Donald J. Trump, regulators in Europe have faced questions about whether they would scale down an investigation of X, the social media network that Mr. Musk owns. European Officials has  ordered X to hand over internal documents about the company’s recommendation algorithm, as well as provide access to data that would allow regulators to study the platform’s content moderation policies and understand why material on certain accounts may go viral. Do you think that this will is a hinderance to free speech ?
