Join the EU.
Or pass their GDPR Laws in the USA.
Sadly, for the USA, each option is about as likely as the other.
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 year ago
Get New York and California to pass it. Might be enough. California has sort of done it lol

Laws like these would thankfully get killed dead by the first amendment in the USA.
Stop trying to kill the Internet with overbearing government regulations.

Just join Mastodon and you will not have to wait for Elon.

Do it. Go on, do it. A real man would do it.
ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A real aerospace engineer would do it, c’mon Elon, you are one of those, aren’t you?
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A real tesla cofounder would do it for sure.
III@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The people who previously ran Twitter wouldn’t have done it. C’mon Elon, are you as scared as they would be?
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Never happening, he doesn’t have the balls, Elon Musk is just a wittle bitty boy

I hear Zuck once threatened to pull Meta out of the EU too. Musk is a real man though. No joke, he can probably be goaded to do it, just like how he got baited into buying Twitter in the first place.

We can only hope

Anybody know what a real programmer would do?
Ah, nevermind, he is too young for that.
kokesh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A REAL SMARTEST MAN would do it.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

As a Brit, I’ve never been more angry at Brexit than right now, when we could have been on the cusp of losing access to Twitter. I’d have been free from the temptation to lurk occasionally, but noooooo, the fucking Tories had to go and “Get Brexit Done” and so we have to still live in a world where I feel compelled to go over there and gawk at the mess.
Bastards.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Please do, and I would like to add a few more (only 180 more) countries where you should quit…
uis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do it. It is perceived much differently than government blocking site, speaking from experience. When cenzorship agency blocks something, people seek ways to be there, when something pulls out of country, people say good riddance.

The irony is that the real losers if Twitter pulls out of the EU will be all the misinfo actors.
InternetTubes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They can still move to whatever substitutes it, like the fediverse, but that also likely means more pressure to make it better, too.
DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Oh no! anyway…
Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Me considers moving to EU after Twitter withdrawl.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Looks like the European laws actually protects us digitally!

Dont be a pussy, Elmo; drop the EU!!

God I imagine an internet free of corporate influence, I miss when they were visitors and not Gatekeepers
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Imagine a world where corporations that retard human development are not rewarded more than corporations that promote development.

Don’t be a cock tease elin just pull out already
variaatio@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Don’t threaten us with good time, Elon.
Also no way he is going through. He is way too much in financial hole to give up European market. Like Google or Meta, sure they have the financial standing to maybe pull such move and survive.
Xitter? They need every visitor and account they can have globally to even think about staying viable.
Empty bluster and pointless empty bluster, since EU would just go “fine. Our continental economy or prosperity doesn’t depend on your social media company. Social media isn’t a critical industry, so we are just fine with you leaving. Plus there is 10 others like you anyway”.
You can’t threaten people with something that doesn’t damage them and heck might be seen as benefit.
sbrodolino_21@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Does xitter read like shitter?
Darkhoof@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As an European just do it! This will spur a move from a lot of people to the fediverse.
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Meta might as well ban the usage of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and of course the Meta Quest headsets from being used in the EU. Oh, and all Google products as well (maybe except YouTube). We are so close to a new tomorrow.
I guess EU citizens are just gonna move to Norway if they wanna use those services (I’d assume VPN usage would be blocked as well)
I_like_cats@lemmy.one 1 year ago
It would be the greatest news I’ve heard in 2 years if that where to happen
quackers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Honestly, without these monopolies, yes it will suck for a bit but it would allow us to essentially rebuild the internet. It sounds exciting more than anything. If the EU blocks anything, thats a different story. The deal now is that companies are vaguely threatening to leave because they dont wanna deal with our laws.
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s a checkmate if I’ve ever smelled one
Evotech@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Speaking from experience, it doesn’t really help to vpn to Norway .
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unless there are some Netflix titles exclusive to the Norwegian version of Netflix, I don’t wanna use a VPN.
Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yes, please!
callmepk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Dear musk, you don’t have to consider, you can just remove X from rest of the world
Therealgoodjanet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh no! Anyway
ScaNtuRd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a European, I’m begging you, Elon. PLEASE remove X from Europe. Thank you!
olutukko@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes I agree!
underscore_@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
So should we call this Xexit or just Xit?
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Xit is the better pun.
badbytes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He should remove it from all countries. What a rich dumbass.
