EU Official Warns Elon Musk Changes Needed at Twitter
WSJ ^
Posted on 11/30/2022 12:30:08 PM PST by BenLurkin
Thierry Breton, the EU’s commissioner for the internal market, held a video call with Mr. Musk on Wednesday to discuss the new legislation, called the Digital Services Act. He said Mr. Musk—who completed his purchase of Twitter in October—stated he planned to get the service ready for the new rules, but Mr. Breton added that more work would be needed.
“There is still huge work ahead, as Twitter will have to implement transparent user policies, significantly reinforce content moderation and protect freedom of speech, tackle disinformation with resolve, and limit targeted advertising,” Mr. Breton said, according to a summary of the call provided by his office.
If a company is found in noncompliance with the new law, it can face orders to comply and fines of up to 6% of its annual revenue—and, potentially, blocking of services in the case of certain repeated infringements.

Doesn’t he mean “stop the changes” because all Musk has done is change stuff.

The answer is simple - geoblocking. Block access to all EU countries based on location (IP address), just like Rumble did when threatened by France. People can just use a VPN if they want to access freedom.

Twitter will have to implement transparent user policies, significantly reinforce content moderation and protect freedom of speech. And while they are at it, Twitter needs to produce a square circle.

The novel, 1984, was supposed to be a warning, not a road map.

6% of its annual revenue? Just cancel twitter in Europe, if they want it they can get a vpn, unless the STAZI has figured out how to counter that.
