The EU has issued a warning to Elon Musk to comply with sweeping new laws on fake news and Russian propaganda, after X – formerly known as Twitter – was found to have the highest ratio of disinformation posts of all large social media platforms.
The report analysed the ratio of disinformation for a new report laying bare for the first time the scale of fake news on social media across the EU, with millions of fake accounts removed by TikTok and LinkedIn.
Facebook was the second worst offender, according to the first ever report recording posts that will be deemed illegal across the EU under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force in August.
Nevertheless, Facebook and other tech giants, including Google, TikTok and Microsoft, have signed up to the code of practice the EU drew up to ensure they could get ready in time to operate within the confines of the new laws.
Twitter left the code of practice but it is obliged under the new law to comply with the rules or face a ban across the EU.

So your username is telling me you constantly create new accounts because you can’t deal with the consequences of your speech? Lame, stop hiding from it with alt accounts.

Oh hey look, someone else who is pretending to not understand the paradox of tolerance.
Believing that certain marginalized groups of people aren’t human (and/or don’t belong in society, and/or don’t deserve equal rights) is not a defensible belief, and people who are actually tolerant will not tolerate that.
Tired of conservatives acting like they’re “just asking questions,” or behaving like they’re just presenting an opposing political viewpoint, and not advocating for genocide.
Rightwingers aren’t people.

Have you ever read this quote:
“Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!” - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935

That’s what you get for being tolerant towards intolerance. That was 88 Years ago and you think everybody still falls for that?

Ignorant…
Twitter is increasingly full of fascists. Fascists don’t deserve tolerance or respect. Of course there’s also all the Russian, Israeli, and United States propaganda bots, actual propagandists, plus myriad other reasons someone might object to the platform but yes, the strawman argument you fabricated is “clearly the only reasonable cause for criticism against Twitter”.
Looking forward to your next strawman.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

LOL. Is “cancel culture” even a thing?

Really? How? Who has been “cancelled”? What happened to them?

Typing search terms into Google does not an argument make. Neither does calling people lazy.
“Cancel culture” is not really a thing.

How were they “cancelled”, though? Do awful people have a right to gobs of money and attention and a platform? If I get fired from my job for bad behavior, does that mean it’s not being fired, but “cancelled”?
By the way, nearly all the people that are supposedly “cancelled” still seem to have careers.
“Cancel culture” is just a big myth from the right.
I don’t think he was saying that.
