This is the best summary I could come up with:

The European Union (EU) has formally opened an investigation into X, the platform previously known as Twitter, to ensure it’s complying with the Digital Services Act (DSA) following Hamas’ attack on Israel in early October and subsequent Israeli air assault on Gaza.

The EU is requesting that X provide information related to its investigation by October 18th.

Investigators are reportedly asking X on what the company’s protocols are during crisis situations, according to the Financial Times.

In his letter from earlier this week, Brenton noted the media has widely reported misleading imagery on X that includes previous armed conflicts as well as doctored ones.

Under the law, tech giants like Meta, Google, and Amazon, which operate “very large online platforms” with millions of users, can be held liable for content that’s illegal in the EU.

Brenton also sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, similarly urging his company to remove illegal content and “to be very vigilant to ensure strict compliance with the DSA rules.”
