BRUSSELS (Reuters) -EU industry chief Thierry Breton on Friday warned Alphabet Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai to adhere to EU tech rules after the spread of disinformation on YouTube following Hamas' attacks in Israel, the latest company to be rebuked. Breton reminded Pichai in a letter posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, of the company's obligations set out in the Digital Services Act (DSA) which requires very large online platforms to do more to tackle harmful and illegal content. The letter followed similar letters sent earlier this week to X owner Elon Musk, Meta Platforms' Mark Zuckerberg and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew but without a 24-hour deadline to take measures to counter the disinformation.
