The thing that's going to fuck Twitter with that new policy on linking is not blocking Mastodon links.

It's blocking Insta.

Politics Twitter is shouty but not actually the bulk of the platform.

That's celebs and lifestyle. And that stuff is pure insta crossover territory.

@garius if the French Minister for Digital's assessment is correct - that it disqualifies Twitter as a social media platform and makes them editorial media, and thus legally culpable for anything going on on their platform - I expect they have more to worry about than Instagram influencers!

That's an interesting take, @Sanakism; I'd be interested to hear more about that story. Might you suggest a link to that news? Thank you

FWIW I'd misread, it was retweeted by the French minister for Digital Affairs, the actual source is apparently the chief scientific officer of the gendarmerie nationale:

β€œAny attempt to remove my tweets that link to my other social media accounts, not violating any law, would actually make #twitter an editorial media, and no longer a social media platform, with civil and criminal liability for *any* illegal content therein. https://t.co/kwoFHVue43”
