I'm gonna need an EU law citation there.
Because banning people for upvoting the word Luigi isn't EU law.
I doubt that happens. What certainly happens is that they remove and ban more than a judge would order. That's necessary to avoid liability.

This website is filled with people who were banned for just that. Check out /c/Reddit ( pretty sure it's on lemmy.world)
So yea, it's happening, and is exactly what you were replying to. Calling that moderation is a pretty far stretch.

As far as I know, all these posts could come from an LLM via a botnet. The article does not support your claim. I don't know what you are trying to argue here.
I have given you factual information. I obliged your request for a source. You are welcome.
Okay, still a non sequiter then, because that law has nothing to do with what you responded. Which was the point of getting that law, because no where does it call the actions you replied to moderation.
And for all I know your a Russian troll so have fun with that.
Ah, the good old "I didn't see it therefore it didn't happen, and anyway who says that's true" I'm not here constantly and even I have seen the wave of people banned for talking about Luigi or even upvoting something.
