Unfortunately, the other half of the people who don't want it banned have all the political capital.
Shouldn't they want it banned because it already broke the law? How many lines have to be crossed before anyone does anything?
Anarchism for the rich(law does not affect them), rugged police state for the poor,
I’m not clicking the link to read this but these sort of headlines are often a result of their survey intentionally wording things like this to spin the narrative. Anyone who does in fact want it banned immediately would still say yes to the question. I’d suspect there are many such folks across Europe.
I want it banned regardless :D
i wish this was worldwide
I think all USA/Israel social media application must be banned.
100% of this European want X banned without further ado.
~~Yesterday~~the moment the sink carrying cancer walked in.
Good.
I want it banned here too.
Ditch it.It will have 0 to none effect of EU. And Mr.NaciSalute won't get broke.Mastodon is the way.
I think you are mistaken. It will have a huge positive impact on the EU.
banning this website would be super good for Blue sky and mastodon
lol people will go to meta threads first, not that.
One step at a time...
And ban Facebook too. It’s been breaking the law a lot longer!
So you suggest that people should see others in real life? Out and about? What are you, a savage?
Just imagine how funny it would be if people would just ditch all that shit.
i want it banned even if it doesnt
More than half are ok with any company breaking the law?
I imagine some of them are okay with fines, or strongly worded letters.
According to a new YouGov survey, a vast majority of respondents in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland (60-78%) think that the EU should take further action against X if it does not address breaches to European law brought forward by the Commission last year [1]. The majority of those (62%-73%) who wanted further action – and 47% of total participants – want X to be banned from the EU if it refuses to address these breaches [2]
20% being fine with it is still worrying to me.
Those are rookie numbers.
I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned. What's different about X? The fact that Elon Musk runs it and he's in with a powerful dictator?
At some point you have to admit the CSAM is not the problem, it's the person running it, whether they have the power to stop you/fight back or not.
