X Highlights Blue Checkmark Disclaimer to Avoid EU Fine

Imagine a social media site where people pay for a blue checkmark.

The EU is checking if this site, X, is being clear about what the checkmark means.

Previously, the checkmark meant someone important was verified, but now it means someone pays a fee.

The EU worries users are confused.

X has added a disclaimer, but it's not admitting they did anything wrong.

The EU could fine X if it finds rules were broken.
