what's this about X getting banned in Europe

I don't know what you're reading but it's just an investigation at the moment. Into

- illegal content
- information manipulation (literal fake news et al)
- moderation and other measures in response to the above
- deceptive design practices
- transparency

Corrective and punitive measures range all the way up to effectively ending Twitter. This is literally the first major investigation under this legislation, so that's neat.

e: taunting the head of the investigation in her post on the platform she is investigating is a bold strategy

I'm not entirely sure what the enforcement is for any fines that might come out of it, or if Elon can just pretend the bills don't exist like everything else

To ban it

The EU isn't perfect, but they stick to their regulations - lots of US News sites (mostly local) are unavailable here because they haven't implemented GDRP

For a while during the early 00s metal slides in Norway had to face northward to avoid overheating because that was an issue in Italy

This might not be true, but don't fact check a good story

A generic democrat jumping right into the tech won't save us series is going to break their brain, Oliver should be a much better way to hold their attention and then allow them to listen to Marx without instinctively blocking all criticism of the meritocracy.

I would say I am not a "generic democrat," but to me the Marx pod was a bit too personal vendetta-y to be taken without a grain of salt. Opening every podcast with "I'm Paris Marx, some have called me the Left's Leading Muskologist" is super cringy and does not give me the sense I'm about to listen to rigorous journalism.

He clearly hates the dude, which is understandable, but also does not give the impression that it's an unbiased look at Elon.

All that to say, it was an interesting series and Elon is a douche, but I think I prefer sources that are a bit less "mad" about their topic.

I’m guessing they only changed the things that Elon sees or interacts with. He’s never going to report somebody. If he wants someone banned he’ll send an email to have somebody just do it.

Pretty funny how "being woke" is just like an automatic way to hand wave away anything anyone says about him. Like John Oliver arbitrarily flipped a switch from "not woke" to "woke" sometime in the past and welp sorry now we can't trust anything he says, especially the bad things he says about me!
