@Gargron he's probably just sabre-rattling to try to put the EU in an awkward position so they back down on some things. I'd love to say it won't work, but...

@bitflipped @Gargron It won't work. There is no threat for the EU in that. Twitter employs next to no one here, spends nothing, probably doesn't even make money in the EU market.
