Omg, I can not stop laughing right now 😂
...and now they just deleted their own tweets from yesterday! You can't even make this shit up anymore.
@fribbledom Unfortunately, yes...yes you can. It's quite easy to make shit like this up. Actually it's quite easy to make shit like this up that's much more interesting, educational and entertaining.
@fribbledom Some lawyer with a clue probably told them which EU and other law they directly violate what level the fines can be.

Attached: 2 images Now, where is the European Commission when it‘s needed to uphold EU law @vonderleyen, @vestager, @ThierryBreton? The world is watching you, @EU_Commission! This is the moment, Europe has to take leadership on #twitter. --- RT @JuddLegum IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules. Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue https://commission.eur… https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1604564509884030977

@fribbledom That must be this "free speech" Elon Musk was talking about.

That escalated quickly hehe ...

@fribbledom
Imagine if Musk bought T-Mobile and then banned any calls or connections to any of the other tele exchanges.
@fribbledom I'm going back in, trying to save as many people as I can
@fribbledom absolutely the same reaction))

@fribbledom hmmm, they missed cohost there.

Probably intended as a non-exhaustive list, but as it looks like in the screenshot, you'd be allowed to link to your cohost account, still

@maxine @fribbledom might have been meant as non exhaustive but it's explicitly an exclusive list 😂
@fribbledom So I‘ve had my accounts here and on CoSo in my bio there for … weeks? Months? And now I’m violating a NEW policy … so he will suspend me post hoc?

@fribbledom What the actual fuck.

Good thing I am solely promoting my akkoma instance. Not Mastodon.

@fribbledom Elons Twitter is so pathetic
@fribbledom "First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you."
@fribbledom it just gets funnier every day 

@fribbledom He might not know how this essentially ends the real world use of twitter. But nice to officially reach stage 3 :D

- They ignore you
- They laugh at you
- They fight you ← We're here.
- You win

@fribbledom Really? That might get my account suspended without me taking any action at all. Which is kinda convenient, I guess?

@fribbledom

How are link aggregators different from having my own website there that has links to my other social media? Or is that now also not allowed?

@paper

Give it a few more hours 🤣

@paper @fribbledom Elmo will make up new rules as soon as he notices.
@fribbledom aren’t these “social media link aggregators” just a list of all the places you’re on? Never used those.
@fribbledom so just add spaces in between and your friends can still pretty easily figure out where you are. Fvcking rocket scientist my ass.
@fribbledom So, we just need all move to #calckey.

As they said, links to non-listed platforms are allowed
😆
@fribbledom @dottorblaster This is the social media equivalent of “blocking withdrawals” from a failing bank.
@thek3nger @fribbledom let’s put it this way: I hope it’s failing. For now I’m just laughing my ass off
@fribbledom can't post direct link to social media is bad but 3rd party link aggregators 🤦🏻‍♂️
@fribbledom Linktree, huh? That'll hit content creators using it to post links to their Youtube, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook et al. 🍿
@fribbledom They seem to value free speech a lot.
@fribbledom So glad I closed my account years ago.
@fribbledom they must be terrified, poor things.
@fribbledom Since Twitter is still bound by the FTC's consent decree, and the FTC finally has anti-trust people in there, this could become extremely entertaining...
@fribbledom @Sysengineer I wonder if my display banner photo will be a violation - I mention my YouTube in it and my LinkedIn, but neither of those platforms were mentioned. I do have my display name indicating here, so that’s for sure a violation - will have to check and see my account at some point
@fribbledom Notice the line "any free promotion". Do you get the feeling he'll be offering the option to post certain links but $8 a month please?
@garywilliams @fribbledom his mommy like his actual mom tweeted about how it is a smart and good policy
So it is forbidden on the social network twitter to be social. HA ;D
@fribbledom lol also at that whole list. He’s clearly intimidated by mastodon, but yeah, let’s give Facebook a mention…
@fribbledom Their policy violation references are going to be more helpful than they imagine. #StreisandEffect
@fribbledom oh god I didn't see that part, it wasn't mentioned in the post everyone shared. So even linking to a link that contains a possible competitor is banned. Good job, Elon. 😂
@fribbledom and ink.bio instead of bio.link. That's just... 🤦
