The European Union's potential suspension of Elon Musk's social network X is more complicated than suggested, potentially only temporary. Thierry Breton cited the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) as possible legal grounds for suspension, but enforcing them is challenging. The DSA's maximum penalty for platforms like X is only temporary suspension, following fines. Enforcement is slow, as national actions are limited, relying mainly on Ireland where X is headquartered.

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Starbucks in a case against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), making it harder for the agency to obtain temporary reinstatement for workers fired during strikes. The Supreme Court ruled that federal judges should review NLRB requests for immediate court orders in the same way they would review preliminary injunction petitions in private litigation. The decision will slow down the process and increase the burdens for the NLRB in obtaining immediate court orders, weakening one of the agency's most effective tools in protecting workers' rights.
