EU warns Musk that Twitter faces ban over content moderation -FT

The European Union has threatened Elon Musk's Twitter with a ban unless the billionaire abides by its strict rules on content moderation, setting up a regulatory battle over the future of the social media platform, the Financial Times <a href="https://on.ft.com/3AWGL2J" target="_blank">reported</a> on Wednesday.

@flexghost @shoq Donโ€™t they harbor a lot of tech companies for tax purposes? The implications would be heavy for the companies as well as the country. Not arguing one point or another, just that there would be some consequences.

Musk can't even meet obligations to the FTC, let alone undergo an audit.

He doesn't care, because he wants to sink Twitter, not save it.

@shoq I see a beneficial work relationship possibility. If the birdsite's new owner buys me an (ahem) office in the guise of a Vancouver condominium meeting my requirements in the West End, I can put my mastodon content moderation skills to use with fewer costs (Bay Area cost of living, transportation, wardrobe, healthcare) for pay. The 60-hour workweek would be worth it.

Naturally nobody would go for seeing this widow and orphan not starve in cold, but a sweet dream to have.

Devalue Twitter, buy remaining shares for less.

@shoq I think Twitter was already under scrutiny by the EU at the time Musk took over. But because Musk is wealthy but not very bright, he started changing things all over, which predictably violated several things, making the EU not happy.

@shoq Musk may not care about Europe revenues since his goal is to be the next Trump. So he bought his own truth social platform and is proceeding to re-populate it with suspended fascists. But heโ€™s going to find the power lies not in what's tweeted, but whatโ€™s repeated by the news orgs. And the novelty has worn off.
