The Digital Services Act is part of a suite of tech-focused regulations crafted by the 27-nation bloc — long a global leader in cracking down on tech giants
It will be an interesting test case for sure, whether the EU is willing to take down X/Twitter/whatever if they don’t comply. Or if they offer up some half-assed compliance, as per Elon Musk’s signature passive aggressive style.
If the EU doesn’t react forcefully to that, these regulations will be as good as dead, because why should anyone else comply if Elon gets a free pass?
Yep, that exactly. I would actually be surprised there are a lot of people on the fediverse that actually like Twitter, but I have been surprised before.
Twitter about to go offline in EU in 3… 2…

It’s now X. And good
Edit: good that it’s going offline…
… if you’re a fan of Elon boy, white supremacy, the alt-right, homophobia, “anti woke” propaganda, or making excuses for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Otherwise it’s shite.
Clearly I meant good it’s going offline.
Clearly a lot of people didn’t read it that way.
But yeah, I agree with you:
TwitterX going offline in the EU would be nice.Maybe (s)he meant good that it will be shut down in EU?
Yep, that exactly. I would actually be surprised there are a lot of people on the fediverse that actually like Twitter, but I have been surprised before.
