Now that the US has fallen to the oligarchy, Elon Musk has set his sights on the UK — using his disinformation platform X to constantly fill the feeds of British voters with negative, false stories about the UK.
When will European politicians realize how dangerous this man and his disinformation platform is?
Holy fuck
@randahl The 'police state' vibe in UK was established in the 14 years of Tory rule that only ended a few months ago. It was the fascist Conservative government that gave the police unreasonable powers not Keir Starmer. Anther election to bring back the Tories isn't going to reduce police powers in UK. FFS.
@randahl by "tyrannical police state" I assume he doesn't mean a state where Black prisoners disproportionately die in custody?
Does his family still own a mine shaft or two we can store him in?

He needs to be stopped, and he will not do that voluntarily.
There needs to be a legal and regulatory answer to this toxic use of new media tools misused for power…
All of that is, of course, rubbish as is the stupid petition to get another election 🙄.
It emphasises how far removed from reality people have got. That they're being used by the far-right just goes unnoticed.
Unfortunately we have a level of the "can't be bothered" in the UK as does the US. A lesser percentage, hopefully, but they're about.
People who will believe, indeed want to believe, any rubbish that brightens a mundane working day.
Musk, though, should be incarcerated.
@randahl People aren't being imprisoned for "politically incorrect" social media posts, they're being charged and sentenced in accordance with laws against online hate speech, which were introduced by the previous (conservative!) government.
Some of these "politically incorrect" posts involved inciting people to burn down hotels housing asylum seekers.
What is truly stunning is that it's possible to get anyone, and I mean ANYONE, to see this UK government as socialist.
Our current Labour Party are in the same position the Democrats are, they've become dependant on contributions, with very little control of the source of much of it.
This 'socialist' gov have come out on the attack at pensioners. They aren't taxing the wealthy they're taxing the elderly.
Right-wing policies.
They would have to move to the left to be centrist.
Elon Musk is a Russian Mafia Molly - who is in competition with fellow Russian Asset Donald. Who will fall?
Will the American people wake up - or slumber into a vegetative state, fed with raw bear meat marinated in mushroom and ashwagandha infused raw milk?
@randahl
i thought that elon musk has found fascist bottom, it seems that i was wrong.
although, i have said that bottom for many times for trump and republicans, then i stopped.
Musk is just doing his job.
He's funded by the fossil fuel industry for a reason.
Petro-state despots are thrilled with his success.
1. Destabilizing any democracy attempting climate action or a fossil fuel phase out

2. Accelerationism is a white supremacist cult

3. Self-enrichment at any cost

America hasn't "fallen to the oligarchy." America was already an oligarchy long before Trump ever became president. What America has fallen to is Christo-Fascism.
that's right. that's why randahl posted it. to show examples of the lies in plutocrat controlled social media warping minds
but according to you, merely discussing the phenomenon is the same thing as the phenomenon itself
therefore, according to your logic, merely discussing the illusory truth effect is the same thing as the illusory truth effect, and therefore you're guilty of the same thing you accuse randahl of 🤣 🤣 🤣

It seems Edgelord Elron has set his eyes on Germany as well, so rejoyce to be found worthy to die at the hands of the oligarchy! 🤡

We're all gonna die

Yeah we've got the opportunity! We're gonna die! 🥳
I know that there are European politicians that realise how dangerous this man and his disinformation is. So on to the constructive part, in your ("or any other commenter's) opinion:
1) Are the current EU regulations enough on the regulatory part? Mainly the #DigitalServicesAct or DSA.
- If not, which other regulation do we need?
2) Is the enforcement of the DSA good enough and fast enough?
- If not, what could we do about that?
3) Which role can national authorities play?
@randahl Musk isn't wrong about the farmers article though.
Farming should be encouraged, and this recent change won't help.
