This is insane. It completely exposes their lie of believing in free speech....they believe in free speech so long as they agree with it. smh.

Way too many oligarchs and government bureaucrats leaving their scent at Twitter. The extent of their control of content is going to be some scary revelations. I hope it all comes out.

The EU does not get to legislate in the US. In their countries, OK, but not in the US.

All he has to do is stop advertising in those countries and he doesn’t have to worry about it. No money from those countries and they have no lever to force you or cut off your funding.

Of course he would need funding to replace that. Maybe he should use my 2 cents idea.

Everyone who tweets should have to pay 2 cents per tweet. The idea is - My 2 cents on any given topic is this...

considering how many tweets there are on a daily basis this would result in a lot of money. And how many people who post on twitter continually can’t afford a dollar to do so?

“The EU has responded aggressively to warn Musk not to allow greater free speech or face crippling fines and even potential criminal enforcement.”

Musk should just quietly turn off Starlink for the EU for a couple of days.

To our advertisers:

We will now be cancelling all media distributions in your EU market areas. If you have any questions ask your EU market governmental administrators.

Interesting how The Powers That Be are feeling so threatened by even people who have a scant following on twitter. And by Trump.

Seems that Musk’s intentions to restore free speech on Twitter has unhinged quite a few leftists. The truth scares the hell out of them.

After years of using censorship-by-surrogates in social media companies, Democratic leaders seem to have rediscovered good old-fashioned state censorship.


They have to censor free speech, to make it appear as though THEIR message is the majority opinion....so they can then instill their cheats.

So obvious.

Thanks posting this reality check re liberals here and in the EU!

Twitter: EU Warns Musk Not to Restore Free Speech Protections After Calls from Clinton and Other Democratic Leaders!

jonathanturley.org ^ | Nov 2, 2022 | Jonathan Turley
Posted on 11/2/2022, 12:14:30 PM by monkeyshine

We have been discussing how Democratic leaders like Hillary Clinton called on foreign companies to pass censorship laws to prevent Elon Musk from restoring free speech protections on Twitter. The EU has responded aggressively to warn Musk not to allow greater free speech or face crippling fines and even potential criminal enforcement. After years of using censorship-by-surrogates in social media companies, Democratic leaders seem to have rediscovered good old-fashioned state censorship.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) declared Musk’s pledge to restore free speech values on social media as threatening Democracy itself. She has promised that “there are going to be rules” to block such changes. She is not alone. Former President Obama has declared “regulation has to be part of the answer” to disinformation.

For her part, Hillary Clinton is looking to Europe to fill the vacuum and called upon her European counterparts to pass a massive censorship law to “bolster global democracy before it’s too late.”...
