#ElonMusk is posting information to portray both Mastodon and Instagram as child pornography sites.
These two social networks are X competitors, and Musk is using his own social network to misrepresent his competitors to 196 million followers.
Imagine if 196 million Volkswagen drivers received multiple messages on their car stereo from the CEO of Volkswagen that other car brands were "child porn car brands".
I doubt European competition laws would allow that.
@randahl This all overlooks a pretty glaring difference between Twitter and Mastodon: Twitter is a service provider; Mastodon is a computer program that serves an internet protocol.
Him attacking Mastodon isn't going after a competitor for the very reason his attack makes zero fucking sense: Mastodon isn't even in the same market. What, should Apache be on the hook also? More CP on Apache probably.
The whole framing is all fucked up--don't even agree to the terms they're using.
