It was fun while it lasted.
One look at Ursula von der Leyen told me that behind that cold, anger-suppressing steel face there lies a vicious fascist, ready to throw you in jail for your thoughts.
This is kind of like the time Belgium declared universal jurisdiction over the space-time continuum.
“to create a safer digital space in which the fundamental rights of all“
“1984” was not meant to be an instruction manual.
I don’t think she’s even human!
“As of today, very large online platforms must apply the new law.”

Translation: Online platforms must be aligned with the interests and views of the government.
Eff u...EU
I’m old enough to remember the Cold War, where our enemy was censoring its people, and we were free to speak our minds. Now, at least relative to Russia, seems things are REVERSED.
And, as noted by others, the ONLY REASON to censor your own people is to prevent them from learning the truth - hence the censoring of Tucker when he wanted to interview Putin, for example.
Our dear allies in Democracy.
Our US constitution is like a levee in this culture war. You’ll know the end is VERY near when that levee breaks.
And to think that the EU started as a simple coal and steel agreement.
Don’t let the camel put his nose under the tent, as the old saying goes.
Evil buzzards.
EU regulations do not apply to websites and companies outside the EU. If they want to create a firewall a la the Great Firewall of China to block those sites within the EU, they can do that.....but anyone in the EU who has a VPN can get around it.
They’re simply not going to be able to effectively police the internet.

“ “For rogue platforms refusing to comply with important obligations and thereby endangering people’s life and safety, it will be possible as a last resort to ask a court for a temporary suspension of their service, after involving all relevant parties,” the EU states.”
Saying anything you please… “rogue”
Not if you believe the Biden Worshippers and their Blood Brothers In Laws. Russia is evil personified and Ukraine is so holy that the Saints blush in envy.
The fEUrth Reich.
Tell me again why people in my family had to die for these psychopaths?
Um, as a certain group of people say, “never again”.
They can face Bad Vlad on their own.
