In the European Union (EU), the social media platform, owned by Elon Mask, has lost 10 million users in the last five months. As a result, the number of monthly active users in Europe is now much lower than the earlier mask acquisition.
According to the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), it is mandatory for technology to publish transparent reports of content moderation multiple times a year. As a result, X is forced to publish various internal information, including their monthly active users, which were previously kept secret.
According to the X Transparency Report, the number of monthly active users of the platform in the European Union is currently 10 million. This number is less than 10 million compared to the last report. According to Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA), large technologies, including X, have to submit the number of users and content moderation reports on regularly.
Meanwhile, the platform in Europe had more than 5 million users in Europe before the 2022 Twitter acquisition.
This week X published their first DSA Transparency Report of 2021. The report was made with six months of data from October 2021 to March 2021.
The latest report, published in April this year, presented the data of the period from October 2021 to March 2021. Compared to the previous six months, the number of users has dropped by more than 5.7 percent.
The number of users in Europe has dropped in France. The number of X users in the country has decreased from 2 crore 5 lakh to 1 crore 5 lakh. Poland has dropped to 2 million, Germany 1 lakh and Spain more than 1 lakh users. Even about one-fourth of the smaller countries of Luxembourg and Lithuania have been excluded from X.
Although Elon Mask's AI company acquired the XAI platform last month, XAI platform continued to decrease the number of X users. Although the number of traffic and advertisers increased temporarily after the US elections in November 2021, it did not last long.
According to the Financial Times reports, in addition to Europe, X lost about one-fifth of the United States and one-third of the daily active users in the UK.
Meanwhile, the company's profit has dropped by 5 percent due to the ongoing protests and campaigns against Tesla.
