    Nevermind fining Twitter. Elon will see it as a badge of honour and Trumpspin.

    What the EU needs to do is block access to the website outright across its member states.

        We tried not censoring the internet and it hasn’t worked

        If it makes you feel better, think of it as Europe defederating from Twitter

          Whoever chooses which sites get banned from the internet has a whole load of power. They could feasibly, in time, become corrupt and end up banning threats to corporate monopolies, like the Fediverse.

            They will become corrupt over time. Power and money yield corruption. Always.

              Exactly. So I wouldn’t trust anyone with the power to dictate which websites you can visit and which you can’t

        Ya and ban all forms of protest against apartheid.

        That’s the EU and it would be the US too if we didn’t have the first amendment
