    In the US they just seized TikTok because they didn’t like it, being under Chinese control.

    Why don’t we just do the same to X in the EU? It must make sense in their minds… orrrr??

    X should be abolished.

    No, seriously. That location feature that unveiled, that 2/3 of MAGA supporting accounts were Russia and Chinese accounts? He disabled the feature. Xitter is a political influencing tool, nothing less.

      Makes me wonder why they enabled it. Maybe they were really were stupid enough to think those were legitimate accounts.

        Nope, Musk wanted to prove that liberal accounts were bots. Anyone has a source? Was 1 or 2 weeks ago.

      I wouldn’t ban. I would make it liable for anything that gets written on it unless it can positively identitfy the user writing it. The supply it with the identify framework that allows it to anonymously identify the users and require it to only showed identify users. I guarantee it that 99% of the bullshit, bots, AI slop disappears overnight and real people might actually be able to interact with each other again.

    X should be expriorpiated, renamed back to Twitter, and made into a public non-profit service that runs on his taxes.

      Or, we could just ban it and let the user-base migrate to decentralized alternatives. If govs want to fund instances run by non-profit, good for them and their citizens.

        Forbid anyone with political influence from using Twitter. Only allow funny remarks and shower thoughts.

          The Tuah Hawk is a majestic bird.

          Twitter peaked around 2014 and it was pure shit since as all the right wing thugs and Nazis overtook it.

          Humans can’t be humans.

    I said the same thing about cops after getting a speeding ticket. Maybe Elon is just like the rest of us after all. /s

    IMO: the DSA & DMA should hold executives accountable for their company’s behaviour. Someone is making those decisions. And all of the corporate law in the world would be abided a whole lot faster and a hell of a lot more diligently if there was the executive’s skin at stake for breaking it.

    Also: Fuck Musk, as he’s a Nazi cunt making a Hitler salute at when being inaugurated as a minister.

    Edit: Also, the only thing destroying european culture are the Techno-oligarchs in the USA.

      Nah you see they are silent responsible for the companies success. But when something goes wrong there is no possible way they could know everything that goes on in the company. And they get big pay because they take all the risk. I have never understood that one what risk golden parachute not big enough.

      Not the only thing, oligarchs from the east are also doing their part, and to be honest, oligarchs from within too.
