There has been a lot of discussion in the media about the EU using the "Media Freedom Act" to punish Elon Musk's Twitter. I just discovered that this Act has not been made into EU law yet.

Will Twitter pay any fines in the EU by Jan 1, 2024?

Resolves YES as soon as proof is posted to the comments. Resolves midnight on Jan 2nd Brussels time if NO, on the theory that media reports might lag on-the-ground events by 24 hours.

This can resolve NO - they haven’t paid any fines.

Between the media "freedom" act and the prohibition of "disinformation", it's as if now everything not forbidden is mandatory in the EU. It seems technologically impossible to adhere to all of the rules, meaning that fines will be forthcoming (not just to X though -- rather than Musk Derangement Syndrome, Europe suffers from America Derangement). Of course, any forthcoming fines will probably be tied up in litigation for quite a while.

predictedNO

I am assuming that if Twitter is fined but doesn’t pay it by Jan 1, this resolves as No
