Please do ban X in EU. The people need to switch to better alternatives like Mastodon.

Yeah. Or, you know. Find something else to do.
That is also a viable option.
So, Bluesky?
And we really hope our problem ends up like Brazil's one.
I am amazed that people still use Xitter.
I'm amazing people still post VOA.
If elon really cared about free speach he would federate.
You finally noticed?
Its been a problem for years.
We don't need a precedent for the EU censoring the internet.
Love you're getting down voted for being against censorship, lemmy hivemind at it's finest
They are getting downvoted because they are making a bad faith argument. They state banning a for profit website for not complying with the laws is somehow equal to censorship, this is obviously not true.
I don't care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it's easier to do it again. The rules that could lead to Twitter being banned today might be sane but who knows about the future? Maybe they start blanket banning Lemmy or Mastodon instances if the fediverse grows so large that moderation can't keep up?
Yeah, because all censorship is evil /s
When done by the government, yes it is. When done by multinational mega corporations, yes it is. When a teacher takes the swear words out of a school play, it's not a big deal.
Yup, so many sheep who look at the up/downvote trend on a comment and just follow.
It's one of the few places i have managed to find some like minded people when it comes to some sexual interests of mine, it would probably make me sad for a bit if i can't use it anymore.
We'll see what happens, being EU i would assume they start with some decent fines followed by some heavier ones before they actually pull the plug tho.
Bluesky, Thank me later.
Thanks, i like it...so far
