US Democratic lawmakers accuse X of giving special treatment to Polymarket

Odaily reports: Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. Senate have accused X of providing special treatment to prediction market platform Polymarket. In a letter, the lawmakers said that when users report Polymarket ads through X's standard interface, they are unable to select a reporting option, while other types of ads such as Kalshi do not have this problem. The letter also said that this differentiated treatment may give Polymarket an improper competitive advantage, and mentioned that Donald Trump Jr. is an investor and advisor to Polymarket. Neither X nor Polymarket responded to requests for comment.
