due to bullshit laws we have revoked access to our website in the European Union. using a proxy to access the site from the European Union is probably illegal, pleeease don't do that
The thing that angers me the most, is that unlike setting up a Great Firewall like China does, the tyrants of Brussels and Strasbourg believe that they need to inflict all their rulings on the rest of the World. It's basically the reverse of a firewall, "comply with our laws or we block you". (Ironically, the US is doing the same with businesses, "if a single outpost is in the US, the whole entire company must comply with US laws")
As has been stated before here, the tech companies don't care and would love to censor like crazy anyway, even though it outright violates Section 230 and puts them at risk of being marked as curators and open to litigation. Other, wiser websites just tell the EU to fuck off.
Elon already said “We have to comply with local laws or our staff will be arrested and we get shut down” -hopefully he doesn’t censor the US in the process.
Twitter and FB can easily afford to roll out heavily censored versions for their EU customers. Due to EU anti free speech laws - The EU FAILED to produce ONE significant social media company that I can name.
The past 20 years of development completely passed the EU by.
(IIRC) Google or Apple is larger than ALL the listed companies in Germany
The difference in the EU - the elites fucking hate anyone who questions their authority.
The elites in the USSR had an understanding that it was human nature to want to have free speech and question authority.
(see the Norwegian man sentenced to a mental institution for questioning the safety and efficacy of the experimental MRNA injection that is neither safe nor effective)
You sound like you need to brush up a bit on some of the shit that happened in the soviet union. I recommend you start by looking up "sluggish schizophrenia" to see how they did the same thing to dissidents.
Only giants like Facebook can comply with these moderation and censorship demands - so it kills big tech startups in Europe.
For Communists like Zuck its a DOUBLE win
Reminder: United Nations (which is barely distinguishable from the EU in goals) openly called for replacement migration.
The mob should burn down the UN along with the EU. Tar-and-feather every possible member and park a truck full of "fertilizer" in their garages.
Everything the EU stands for is hate speech.
Both things that are completely legal for people to engage in, if you're not a complete joke of a country.
Fuuuuuuuck You!
I am so sick of these fucking power-mad assholes.
Death to the EU and the WEF! They are monoliths of evil.

How would anyone know who is a Twitter employee? Do they ask for that when traveling now?
I assume he means they have offices there, but if nottthen idk
It must be destroyed, like Godzilla.
