Do Europeans like being fed an exclusive diet of government approved propaganda? Is free speech dead in Europe?

European regulators are preparing to levy a massive fine on Elon Musk’s X, surpassing $1 billion, for allegedly violating the "Digital Services Act".

This legislation is intended to push social media firms to "regulate" (censor) content more aggressively.

The EU’s crackdown on American tech companies extends beyond X. Regulators are also set to penalize Meta and Apple.

Like all totalitarian regimes, the EU pretends that its regulations are motivated by benevolent concern for the well being of the ignorant rabble.

I suspect it will be a global thing soon. I expect our Tvs to start reporting people to the ADL and Feds soon for wrong think or speaking the truth out aloud.

[Lliam]

Right? All our SMART devices are watching and listening.

Take Keir Stammer. He's holding a round table emergency discussion on misogyny based on a netflix drama and is having special lessons on misogyny for boys in school but voted down a national inquest for the child grooming gangs.

Majority of European don't even watch the news only old people, I watch it cause I eat in front of it and there's nothing else at this hours also I don't like watching something interesting as I eat as I prefer to focus on my food.

LOL, get your head out your ass.

Free speech and censorship are two very different things.

In Europe, you cannot break laws, while hiding behind free speech... as you can in the USA. The issue of censorship is about regulation of libellous or illegal content. Elon hasn't done enough to stop the child porn and factual lies people like you seem to live off...

[Lliam]

Typical UK sheep. Baaaaaa.

[Gospeedracer]

@jshm2 The law makers serve their own interests and eliminating free speech through censorship ensures that their questionable behaviour remains unquestioned. If truth and fairness was on your side then you wouldn't need censorship.

Highway robbery. He should not provide anything for them.

The same guy who once blocked people for calling him out, just used the word "shit" on twitter. (Elon musk)

Elon Musk, is and always will be, a POS

[DrPepper12]

We need a digital services act & get rid of section 230. Mis & dis info is dangerous.
