Comment on Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X

Nevermind fining Twitter. Elon will see it as a badge of honour and Trumpspin.
What the EU needs to do is block access to the website outright across its member states.

Ah yes! Censor the internet! That’s the solution!

Twitter is not the internet, its now a misinformation site that financially rewards that misinformation. The slow death of twitter prompted the birth of threads, bluesky and mastodon to name 3. One goes, three rise. And nobody is being censored - thats the point. What this would be is the consequence of their misuse of free speech.

There are an awful lot of users who disagree with that and use it daily. I’m on there on and off all day to interact with my industry and the only misinformation I see is ads for games that have fake gameplay.
This is just more of the same “Elon bad” crap over and over. Seriously, you’re encouraging the EU to censor the internet like China does because space man is bad.

If you can browse Twitter without seeing a myriad of racial slurs and dogwhistles, you’re either browsing with your eyes closed or just don’t mind racism.

Yeah. Exactly. Space man is bad. It’s not free speech to harm others. We are in the US where woman don’t have rights over their choices in many states.

We tried not censoring the internet and it hasn’t worked

Ya and ban all forms of protest against apartheid.
That’s the EU and it would be the US too if we didn’t have the first amendment
