EU warns Elon Musk over Twitter moderation plans
Financial Times, Apr 26, 2022

Brussels has warned Elon Musk that Twitter must comply with the EU’s new digital rules under his ownership, or risk hefty fines or even a ban, setting the stage for a global regulatory battle over the future of the social media platform.

Thierry Breton, the EU’s commissioner for the internal market, told the Financial Times that Musk must follow rules on moderating illegal and harmful content online after Twitter accepted the billionaire’s $44bn takeover offer.

Breton said: “We welcome everyone. We are open but on our conditions. At least we know what to tell him: ‘Elon, there are rules. You are welcome but these are our rules. It’s not your rules which will apply here.’”

Hitler had moderate rules too.

I can't help but wonder if Elon has a working middle finger.

If twitter is served in the US, then it has no obligation to follow EU's rules. EU can only block access... if they can... Which they really cannot.
