This “Elon is free to do what he wants on Twitter, and you’re free to move elsewhere” is a very american take.
Elon must comply with European laws and regulations in data protection, anti-trust, anti-discrimination, etc or the EU will seize his property to enforce fines or make Twitter unavailable for EU.
@szbalint Indeed. And I will dance on its ashes if it ever happens. I’m just not holding my breath :)
(GDPR is basically not enforced at the moment, the Irish Data Protection Commission is a joke that has to be sued into doing its job by @noybeu, and when/if fines are actually doled out, they can easily be written off as a standard cost of doing business. Meanwhile, the policymakers, etc., who should be protecting our rights are eye their lucrative positions at these firms in the coming years.)
