Dude thinks he’s so important that he can bully others into getting what he wants just by threatening to leave. Here’s hoping the EU calls him on it. What do they have to lose? Twitter brings no value to anyone other than Musk these days.

Maybe the theory about the Saudis financing Musk to buy Twitter in order to kill it is not too far fetched afterall.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oct 18 (Reuters) - Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.
The billionaire has discussed removing the app’s availability in the region, or blocking users in the European Union from accessing it, a person familiar with the company told the publication.
The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things.
X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Translation; I’m going to throw a temper tantrum because the you’re being mean to me after, someone who totally is not me, ruined my plaything that I was, forced to, buy.
Also I am totally wearing clothes, you’re just too poor to see them.

EU is starting to more heavily censor things. Social media that is “terrorist sympathizing”, “misinformation”, or “pro-hamas protests” when in reality what they’re doing is cutting off access to information from the other side.
Even on Twitter we’re seeing certain accounts get banned. I followed a guy who’s part of Hezbollah that would give on the ground updates. He got banned. Many other accounts have too.
Is this what we want? An iron curtain around the internet? So we can’t see the other side and they can’t see us? It’s a dangerous path we’re walking towards.

DO IT

Why not just adapt to the new rules? Others have to do the same.

developers would have to add features to the platform but they only learned how to remove features
Mio@feddit.nu 11 months ago
But add features are easy. Just put a X there and call it a day.

…is he flexing?
Red_October@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I get the feeling he thinks he’s always flexing, even when he doesn’t notice that his pants just fell down and everyone’s laughing at him.

Musk threatens to kill off Twitter in the EU, and all the Europeans are going “hooray! Finally we can forget about that cesspool and go in with our lives”
Kinda reminds you of that scene from lethal weapons, Musk is the jumper, Riggs the Europeans and Murtaugh the Twitter employees.

Apparently, this news is not true, sadly.
Elmo said so himself on Xitter according to a Belgian news site.
Couldn’t verify it though since I don’t go on xitter.

Here’s hoping Zuck will do the same! Garbage misinformation platforms, with all around lack of moderation, and value.
