X should be abolished.
No, seriously. That location feature that unveiled, that 2/3 of MAGA supporting accounts were Russia and Chinese accounts? He disabled the feature. Xitter is a political influencing tool, nothing less.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

MODERATORS
Makes me wonder why they enabled it. Maybe they were really were stupid enough to think those were legitimate accounts.
Nope, Musk wanted to prove that liberal accounts were bots. Anyone has a source? Was 1 or 2 weeks ago.
Elon Musk should be abolished.
In a typically European fashion too!
It is time for the EU to kick out all these too big to fail corporations that are openly hostile to European culture. Megacorporations are a direct threat to all citizens rights.
This. It's crazy to think some dumbass rich american can openly ask for the dissolvement of a progressive, free market just because it tries to protect it's citizen from greed, propaganda and stolen data.
Fuck Elon, and fuck every american oligarch that thinks Europe will just buckle for them.

Nothing of value is lost if Twitter access goes. Booting out Microsoft , Google , etc will be harder

This is strong evidence that EU is actually working for the benefit of the general population, and not just for the benefit of the rich.
Nah, the EU is just "less sellout" than most others. There are terrible things coming from the EU as well. But generally I much prefer living in the EU than pretty much anywhere else.

Not really, just that it doesn't work in favour of this rich guy in particular.

Haha, it'd be funny if NATO perceived that as a threat and just blew up Tesla's European offices.

Oh look, a tantrum. How unbecoming of the richest pedophile on the planet.
I mean they could do what he asks and each individual county could hit him with the exact same fine

I can't decide who is more obvious about their ulterior reasons
IMO: the DSA & DMA should hold executives accountable for their company's behaviour. Someone is making those decisions. And all of the corporate law in the world would be abided a whole lot faster and a hell of a lot more diligently if there was the executive's skin at stake for breaking it.
Also: Fuck Musk, as he's a Nazi cunt making a Hitler salute at when being inaugurated as a minister.
Edit: Also, the only thing destroying european culture are the Techno-oligarchs in the USA.

X should be expriorpiated, renamed back to Twitter, and made into a public non-profit service that runs on his taxes.
Twitter was garbage long before Elon. This world does not need social media.
Forbid anyone with political influence from using Twitter. Only allow funny remarks and shower thoughts.
And cats.

I think Elon Musk and alike should be abolished. They are ruining society. Seriously, it is that simple, these pieces of shit are probably humanity's enemy number #1.
Fuck this guy. Let's ban Twitter from the EU. Nothing good will be lost.
Ban it. Block it. Fine it. Lock it.
Harder, better, faster, stronger.
In the US they just seized TikTok because they didnβt like it, being under Chinese control.
Why donβt we just do the same to X in the EU? It must make sense in their mindsβ¦ orrrr??
Nah, just make them pay the taxes in EU without any loophole to avoid them. And it could be done simply even without they collaboration.
How is anything these billionaires "said" considered news today?
The feeling is just so mutual about Nazi Twitter for people living in the EU.
Fine him again!
Him backing far-right anti-EU parties for ages is probably coincidental.

The fact that any public representative from any country in the union maintains a Twitter account should be illegal at this point, as should all institutional accounts, of course.

I said the same thing about cops after getting a speeding ticket. Maybe Elon is just like the rest of us after all. /s

Let's abolish his business instead. Starting with Tesla.
Damn, and here I thought I didn't already have great reasons to be fiercely pro-EU.
Thanks, Elon!
Also note that Dimitry Medvedev, the great Russian clown / mouth of Sauron, replied "Exactly" to this.
Also Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, replied with similar sentiments.

Who the hell cares what some illegal american immigrant thinks, honestly? The guy is a proven dumbass who just brainfarts words without any meaning.
I used to block any comments/posts related to "Elon" and in hindsight it seems it was a good idea.

Just proves that his political views are based in what it's best for his company.
"The US should be liquidated and sovereignty returned to individual states so that governments can better represent their people,"
Fixed that for ~~you~~ him.
This is how a spoiled little prick acts when he doesnβt get his way. Dude needs a nap.

LMAO All these right, white men seem to throw a temper tantrum whenever real consequences for being a shitty social network (or a different shitty thing), I think X needs to be abolished instead. After Musk pays the fines, that is!
