So we're going to have a second great firewall now?
Unenforceable threat.
What will they do if Twitter doesn't comply, ban Twitter?
Twitter is the life-blood of journalists, watch how quickly the whole press will turn against EU anti-Twitter regulation.
The anti-EU brigade in the comments isn't exactly giving a good showing of its intellectual caliber, with the most common arguments being that EU representatives are unelected (true in the same sense that the president of the USA is unelected) and that regulation is impossible because Twitter is an american company (self-explanatory).
As a European living in the USA, I'm always baffled by anti-EU sentiment in the USA (and by anti-USA sentiment in the EU).
That's it, that's all I wanted to say about this.
Note the "That’s what he said" reply: https://twitter.com/ThierryBreton/status/1585902650134257665
Such a juvenile comment from a government official.
Couldn't Thierry Breton come up with something more suitable to his position?
America: Let's have a party. I'll bring the software!
China: I'll bring the hardware!
EU: I'll bring the regulation! - @paulg
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
I think I don't get the point in this video. Could someone maybe share more context?
idk, i think it would be really cool if more companies started closing any remaining eu servers and just telling these regulators to go pound sand. DSA is anti-free-speech so no American company should in good conscience comply.
always funny how the same people who support working towards open communications in e.g. iran and china by ignoring their laws get mad when somebody suggests this.
The EU is now once again protecting me from Mr. Musk. I am so happy to be an EU citizen.
Spoke like real dinosaur, this guy should be already retired from any gov positions and not block productive people.
Free Twitter must look like real threat to corrupted thieves like Von Der Leyen and her Pfizer sponsors with their "fact checkers" promoting fake news and banning scientific facts.
Is this referring to censoring Russian news like Starlink has declined to do?
A succinct argument against regulation
They should make the global Twitter read-only + opt-in with warnings, and allow EU to have their own EU arena with real identities tied to users (and restrict children to EU-only space). Then give regulators the direct controls to censor tweets within the EU arena as they see fit and let regulators make the decision of how to shut-off global valve if they want.
A form of this system already exists on German Reddit, I believe.
The tech-savvy can continue to use a VPN as usual.
