      The fake news, the misinformation, the amplifiers, the conspiracies, etc… Losing Twitter would be a win. It would be wonderful to be able to crack down on some of the groups on things like Telegram and FB and WhatsApp. The blatant lies they spread. And lies about lies too.

      My wife is part of a group like this. And over the past week, as you can imagine, the channel is rife with bullshit. They have posted fake things, then deleted them and claimed they were hacked to explain why the post was made or deleted. And people were like, “oh yeah sure that makes sense”

        I think it would only be a win if euro-comm does the same for WhatsApp, otherwise the fakes just get less transparent. And maybe this is all part of authoritarian countries cutting the world off from european ideas, see my other comments.

    Perhaps Mr. Musk would be receptive to the following message:

    Hey Musk! You’re not a bitch like Zuckerberg right? Show the world the man that you are and pull out of the EU like you mean it! I dare you! You won’t if you got no balls!

              Interessant, hätte gedacht das Wort ist generelles Deutsch. Scheint’s wohl nur im Österreichischen Deutsch vorhanden zu sein. Steht auf jeden Fall bei uns im Wörterbuch.

              Gatsch ist gleichbedeutend zu Matsch.

              Hier ist das Lied, von dem der Text stammt:

      At this point every SNS app can just boycott EU in protest of the e2ee ban, and that’d only make a better world.

    The fact that he says he’s “considering it” means he’s not going to do it.

    Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.

      Eh, he “considered” buying Twitter and was forced to fulfill his agreement. Maybe we get lucky and it happens again.

      Likely he will let it play out as long as possible. But eventually he’ll have to. He’s made it abundantly clear this far that he doesn’t care about the money and complying with these laws wouldn’t mean going against the whole reason he bought it in the first place.

      It is the internet town square. Of a town run by the likes of Elon Musk. Badly neglected, crime taking place on the streets in broad daylight, hateful graffiti smeared all over the place, people taking shits right in the middle of town square, and nobody to clean it up nor stop the perpetrators, because the mayor has an odd liking for faeces, and occasionally likes to take a good old dump in the middle of town square, himself, too.

    Clearly nothing shady at all when your company makes threats (empty or otherwise) that they’re gonna disappear from your country if you investigate them for incompliance.

    Nothing to see here, just move along. /s
