i mean it matches pretty well with my dad's descriptions of spacex from his visits

though he's never really talked about how the company is managed or set up (because it wasn't his job to worry about that and he absolutely avoids thinking about or talking about corporate management poo poo if at all possible) he has described how the factory itself is set up and how the various things, like, work together at spacex, and parts of it definitely sounded like they were built specifically to be internally showy

French regulator warns Twitter of legal duty to moderate misinformation, hate

The letter sent by Arcom gives Twitter a deadline of Nov. 24 by which it should confirm that it can still adhere to its obligations under French law to moderate content.

France’s digital regulator has asked Twitter to confirm that it can still meet its legal obligations to moderate harmful content and misinformation as the company undergoes a major reorganization, including layoffs of half the company’s workforce, under the ownership of Elon Musk.

The head of Arcom, the French regulator for digital and audiovisual communication, expressed “deep concern” in a letter to Twitter about how the chaos and staff erosion that have characterized Musk’s first weeks as owner and CEO since his $44 billion purchase of Twitter last month could affect the company’s ability to “maintain a safe environment for users of its service” in France.

Roch-Olivier Maistre, president of Arcom, noted in the letter, dated Friday, that Twitter “is one of the most used online platforms in France,” and said the turmoil at the company “raises systemic issues regarding the faithfulness of democratic debate and the public safety.”
He gave Twitter until Nov. 24 to respond to Arcom’s concerns.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post about the letter.

Twitter, the letter said, is responsible for fighting against “the manipulation of information” and “the dissemination of online hate speech” on its platform under French law, and Arcom is responsible for ensuring that Twitter adheres to its obligations, including on transparency. At the same time, Twitter should respect its users’ freedom of expression, it said.

If Twitter fails to implement measures to moderate online hate, the regulator has the power to put the platform on notice and, in some cases, impose fines of up to $20.5 million, or 6 percent of global revenue for the previous fiscal year.
