The Report Function on X: Super Effective Against Scams – or What? (EU Special)

I've been on Twitter/X since 2017 – and never have I been able to upload a screenshot or proof when reporting a post. Never. Three dots → Report → and then? No upload option. This isn't a bug on my side, it's deliberate restriction for EU users.
X has to comply with stricter data protection rules (GDPR since 2018, DSA since 2023), and instead of building good, secure tools (e.g. anonymized proof upload), they simply disable features. Result: We EU users can often only click “Report” without attaching evidence. Super effective against scams, impersonation and fake posts, right? 😒
This was already the case before Elon Musk – long before the “EU pressure” from DSA really kicked in. US users often have more options, we in the EU get the stripped-down version.
 “Data protection” at the expense of real protection.
Why doesn't the EU just let X do its job?
Why are so many obstacles put in the way?Don't we EU citizens deserve the same protection against scams, fakes and impersonation as citizens in the United States of America?
Is this really protection – or just bureaucracy that helps platforms shift responsibility while we stand here with broken tools?
What do you think? Do we EU citizens deserve worse protection?
(And no, help.x.com is useless for EU – the details are missing. Waste of time.)

  Sooner or later, the past catches up with you. Even through the brazen DUMM-Fakes of these platforms. Yesterday these fakes actually managed to get hold of my brand-new, supposedly secret phone number. How? No bloody idea! As always, X is restricting me again. Reason: I write the #truth in my blog. But what these DUMM-Fakes are really doing to people apparently doesn’t give a shit to X or any of the other platforms. I was completely on the floor. I called my boyfriend Ben 💖. He came straight over in the middle of the night. We just stared at my phone. Then the call came. Video call. From exactly one of those DUMM-Fakes. Ben answered it. There was an older foreign guy on the screen. He said in English: “I want to speak to the woman.” Ben, ice-cold: “What do you want from my wife?” The fake was totally confused – and hung up. To all you fakes out there: I don’t exist for you! I’m happily taken! Go to a doctor, get your personality disorder treated! Leave normal users alone! To X a...

  All in the Name of Elon Musk! I like Elon Musk – he’s still a role model for me. Without him, I probably never would have discovered my love for various programming languages. But his fakes? They destroy lives! X needs to act – and fast! This isn’t a criticism of Mr. Musk himself. I like him! The real Mr. Musk, not those fakes. The public Grok is a matter of taste – I’ve had bad experiences with her. You see, I had a cool, easy-to-remember phone number. That changed with my last encounter with the worst fake ever. Surprise: He claimed to be Elon Musk… blah blah. For my own protection, I’ve removed the number and my name. From a reliable source, I know his IP isn’t from the US. The joke? No one does anything about it – no one! Are the big shots just indifferent? This fake called me 60 to 80 times a day – yes, you read that right! I’m not ready to share the last contact yet. He wanted me to sell my body to strange men! And the Grok on X finds my blog “inspiring”? Find the mistake...
