    they need to do what france did to durov. after the arrest, telegram did a major shift on content moderation. they need to make actual law enforcement instead of just saying things. but, eh, it’s elon musk, i bet they dont have balls to stand against world richest dickhead.

    When they say legal weapons, do they mean the sort of legal weapons we are allowing in Gaza?

    Hit him on both fronts: Block X.com IP ranges and issue an international warrant for foreign election interference.

        These are the right answers.

        Which of course will push him 100% harder to support his political benefactors, the nazis.

          He’s already doing this. We worry too much about “oh how bad would the backlash be?” but we are already heading for X,com-powered fascism, what’s to lose?

        It’s Ramstein. And people are really fucking scared to upset the de facto rulers of NATO since the Russian invasion, as ironic as that might be considering Trump’s connections and resulting stance on NATO allies.

    The EU needs to wake up to the fact that its in a stage prepatory to war. They’re under attack by a wave of fascists, Russian army on the east, and Politicians and Corporate Syndicates from America and within their own borders.

    The entire State of Russia, Elon Musk’s Megalomaniasphere, MAGA, Hungary’s Fidesz, Germany’d AFD, France’s RN. We’re essentially in a plot similar to the tom clancy’s Sum of all fears book, where a bunch of Fascists are trying to collectively take over the world.

    Its a little conspiracy theorist-y, but some are suggesting the International Democracy Union is one angle of this plot.

    Honestly at this point might be in everyone’s best interest to consider the illegal weapons as well

    I’m a little surprised that most countries don’t have laws that make it a crime for non-citizens or people outside their country to influence elections. For any country, but the biggest and wealthiest, this seems like an obvious thing. Nobody wants their larger richer neighbor coming and interfering with their elections.

    If you consider Twitter like a newspaper or other media outlet, then the owner of the media outlet using Twitter’s megaphone should violate all sorts of laws. At least that would be my expectation…

    Honestly, while I don’t mind legal proceedings against Elon, the best thing the EU or any European government could do would be to start using alternatives to Twitter.

    If they’d spin up their own mastodon instance and politicians, institutions and parties would start exclusively posting their statements there, then journalists would have to follow them and news organisations would also start linking those instead.

    Twitter isn’t as big here anyways, but doing that could imo make it even less so.

      Block all of Musk’s companies.

      He’s clearly a villain set on world domination.

      What the fuck are we even doing as a SPECIES?
