Isn’t it strange that our free speech hero Elon Musk is whining about censorship by the US government, including though the “Twitter files” propaganda campaign and more recently starting frivolous lawsuits, while the censorship by the EU is more draconic?!?
Elon Musk's "Twitter Files" forgot to tell us that there was a formal European Commission program “Fighting COVID-19 Disinformation” in which all major social media platforms, including Twitter, participated.
As part of this censorship collaboration, Twitter reported to the European Commission on its censorship of content and accounts all over the world (so not just in the EU).
It is impossible that Twitter is not continuing to communicate with EU officials about censoring online content. While the EU’s “Fighting COVID19 Disinformation” program was technically ended, it's censorship practices continue under the more general "Code of Practice on Disinformation". Twitter, and other online platforms, are obliged to fight "misinformation" (which of course includes those facts that come a little too close to exposing the sordid state of our Brave new world).
While the “U.S. government censorship” policies were sort of requests, but Twitter cannot refuse the demands of the European Commission (that can impose hefty fines)... if it wants to remain active in the EU.
While Elon Musk has complained about the censorship by team Biden, he has posted positively about his meeting with EU Commissioner Thierry Breton in January.
The European Commission can even conduct warrantless searches of company premises.
The EU’s censorship has continued to control Twitter. It demanded to suppress reports on election fraud in Brazil since 30 October 2022: https://dailysceptic.org/2023/02/26/...er-censorship/
