Elon Musk Summoned to the European Parliament to Address ‘Hate Speech’ Concerns
Breitbart ^ | 12/20/2022 | Peter Caddle

Brussels has reportedly summoned tech-billionaire Elon Musk to the European Parliament to discuss “hate speech” problems in relation to his social media network, Twitter.

Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, has reportedly invited Musk to Brussels to discuss “hate speech” concerns surrounding Twitter, reports published on Tuesday have claimed.

The transnational bloc has repeatedly come to blows with the on-and-off world’s richest man over his support for free speech on the platform, with authorities threatening to ban the billionaire’s social media company from the EU entirely should he refuse to censor content Brussels deems problematic.

Will Musk have a few choice words for them, or will he totally ignore them?

A big problem with all the web services is they try to be global. That means they need to keep the EU happy, and the Saudi’s and China etc.

There is no need for something like Twitter to cross borders and it would be wise for Musk to shrink it to be only an American service.

Do they ever document the “hate speech” or just talk about it?

Is this more Schiff/Swalwell, “the amount of evidence we have is overwhelming” yet they’ve never presented the evidence, but they do have it.

Why ? when he can bring internal analytics, explain them, deride whatever fakenews the Parliament will cite and tell them to piss off. I get the feeling when Elon is ‘summoned’ he gets excited.

hate speech is leftist dog whistle for free speech

Yes yes, I know there are real haters out there, and bad groups. But those are boogeyman red-herrings for the left to silence alllll kinds of free transfer of information, just like when they call legitimate scientific dialogue as contrary to ‘settled science’. There’s nothing settled about it and they know it.

“Hate Speech” is anything the EU says it is.

Tell them to go f themselves, Elon.

Since when is he answerable to them.

They can “summon” all they want and he can ignore them all he wants.

If I were him, I would not go out of concern for my safety and well being. I would not put an assassination attempt above them.
