Breton told Musk that Twitter must adhere to a checklist of rules, including ditching an “arbitrary” approach to reinstating banned users, pursuing disinformation “aggressively” and agreeing to an “extensive independent audit” of the platform by next year.

Musk was warned that unless he stuck to those rules Twitter risked infringing the EU’s new Digital Services Act, a new law that sets the global standard for how Big Tech must police content on the internet. Breton reiterated Twitter could face a Europe-wide ban or fines of up to 6 per cent of global turnover if it breached the law."

I find that super disturbing because the whole "disinformation" thing is a way to excise undesirable information. I mean who would even decide what disinformation is or isn't? It's censorship.

^ This is how the right wing tries to blur the lines between fact and fiction.

The US Capitol was violently attacked because of disinformation. People were killed because of disinformation. Hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily because of COVID disinformation. School board members received messages threatening to murder them, rape their children and burn their homes down because of CRT disinformation. The US is at its most divisive since the Civil War because of toxic, intentional disinformation.

And, you find it "super disturbing" only because you're made all that toxic disinformation and gaslighting a central part of your strategy.

I, and millions of Americans, are SICK of playing your games. I agree with social media flagging disinformation for what it is. That is not censorship. That is you rightly being called out for your bullshit.

Why do you even care? Do you think twitter is a good source of information?

DP twitter is a great place to go looking for information. I regularly check to see why there’s a slowdown on a highway, what those sirens nearby are all about, to get first hand accounts of events as they’re happening. I thought everyone knew that.

Twitter does not need to allow posts about Nazis to be able to provide that kind of info.

I thought Elon was all about free speech. He seems confused.

He may be. And you may be. If you are looking for hate speech about Nazis, go find it on whatever crap platform promotes it. Go watch that AH that likes to carry on about dead kids being crisis actors. He will let people promote Nazis as much as they want.

You seem to be confused. Elon has let plenty of bad actors back into Twitter. Either he’s for free speech or he’s not.

So you are happy to have bureaucrats in Europe decide for you what is disinformation (which you are not allowed to see) and what isn't?

Oooh, “bureaucrats”. So scary!!!

Yes I’m happy to have them get rid of the riot-inciting fake stuff, the racist and antisemitic stuff, the lies that seek to undermine democracy, the porn and the harmful “content,” none of which I want to see. Thanks.

Nice you gloss over the "in Europe" part. They ban books there.

Shocking, innit? 'Cause we'd never ban books here, in the good old US of A.

Example? (That is not about school libraries.)

Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Gapes of Wrath, Lady Chatterly's Lover.... There are of course plenty of books banned at state/library/school district levels, anything from 1984, to To Kill a Mockingbird, Brave New World, and Of Mice and Men

What book banning by members of the EU do you take exception to?

Here’s a whole thread full of them. Not just school libraries. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1014876.page

Funny, PP said not in school libraries and you literally responded with a tread on books banned in school libraries. The only books banned in the us are cp or articles with classified information. Which of those categories do you think shouldn't be banned?

I, and millions of Americans, are SICK of playing your games. I agree with social media flagging disinformation for what it is. That is not censorship. That is you rightly being called out for your bullshit.

Why do you even care? Do you think twitter is a good source of information?

DP twitter is a great place to go looking for information. I regularly check to see why there’s a slowdown on a highway, what those sirens nearby are all about, to get first hand accounts of events as they’re happening. I thought everyone knew that.

Twitter does not need to allow posts about Nazis to be able to provide that kind of info.

Sounds like free speech. Why is Elon censoring him?

Elon also censored this guy’s free speech as well. Narcissists should not buy criticism factories.

Not a Twitter expert. Is this something that would have been allowed under the previous ownership? I am failing to see any issue with this piece

"The warning from Brussels came in a video call between Musk and Thierry Breton, the EU’s commissioner in charge of implementing the bloc’s digital rules, according to people with knowledge of the conversation.

Breton told Musk that Twitter must adhere to a checklist of rules, including ditching an “arbitrary” approach to reinstating banned users, pursuing disinformation “aggressively” and agreeing to an “extensive independent audit” of the platform by next year.

Musk was warned that unless he stuck to those rules Twitter risked infringing the EU’s new Digital Services Act, a new law that sets the global standard for how Big Tech must police content on the internet. Breton reiterated Twitter could face a Europe-wide ban or fines of up to 6 per cent of global turnover if it breached the law."

I find that super disturbing because the whole "disinformation" thing is a way to excise undesirable information. I mean who would even decide what disinformation is or isn't? It's censorship.

^ This is how the right wing tries to blur the lines between fact and fiction.

The US Capitol was violently attacked because of disinformation. People were killed because of disinformation. Hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily because of COVID disinformation. School board members received messages threatening to murder them, rape their children and burn their homes down because of CRT disinformation. The US is at its most divisive since the Civil War because of toxic, intentional disinformation.

And, you find it "super disturbing" only because you're made all that toxic disinformation and gaslighting a central part of your strategy.

I, and millions of Americans, are SICK of playing your games. I agree with social media flagging disinformation for what it is. That is not censorship. That is you rightly being called out for your bullshit.

So you are happy to have bureaucrats in Europe decide for you what is disinformation (which you are not allowed to see) and what isn't?

Oooh, “bureaucrats”. So scary!!!

Yes I’m happy to have them get rid of the riot-inciting fake stuff, the racist and antisemitic stuff, the lies that seek to undermine democracy, the porn and the harmful “content,” none of which I want to see. Thanks.

Nice you gloss over the "in Europe" part. They ban books there.

Shocking, innit? 'Cause we'd never ban books here, in the good old US of A.

Example? (That is not about school libraries.)

Here’s a whole thread full of them. Not just school libraries. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1014876.page

Funny, PP said not in school libraries and you literally responded with a tread on books banned in school libraries. The only books banned in the us are cp or articles with classified information. Which of those categories do you think shouldn't be banned?
