and described it as a tyrannical, unelected bureaucracy

Official response
Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen said such practices have no place online in the EU
; US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the fine an attack on American platforms.

X terminated the Commission's advertising account, citing misuse of its ad composer.
