A top European Union official warned Twitter owner Elon Musk that the social media platform must take significant steps to comply with EU content moderation laws, and that European officials will be monitoring closely for compliance.

Twitter has “huge work ahead” to meet its obligations under the Digital Services Act, Europe’s new platform regulation, said Thierry Breton, the EU’s digital chief, in a readout of his meeting with Musk. “Twitter will have to implement transparent user policies, significantly reinforce content moderation and protect freedom of speech, tackle disinformation with resolve, and limit targeted advertising,” Breton said in a statement.

The biggest companies that violate the law could face billions in fines. The meeting between Breton and Musk follows an earlier discussion the two had in May in which Musk expressed support for the European regulations. In a blog post Wednesday, Twitter said none of its policies have changed since Musk took over the company, and that its trust and safety team “remains strong and well-resourced, and automated detection plays an increasingly important role in eliminating abuse.

Mofos quite easy to see that the EU is fully focused on being the unquestionable single source of truth. Sounds more like the CCP model for tyranny to beat the truth to death.

Elon being forced to realise Twitter is a global company and not just his moron MAGA gang.

In other words, comply with the left wing globalist narrative and pretend vaccines work or face the consequences. The Nazis are back in control of Europe

EU warns Musk that the global deep state has enacted strict censorship laws and they’re just looking for a reason to stop the spread of anything that threatens their agenda.

I feel that the EU is resolute. Amen

IR police has stolen Armita Abbasi from the hospital while she needed medical treatment in order to hide the fact that they've raped her many times and she was bleeding bc of that Be ARMITA'S VOICE!!!! No one knows where and in what condition she is in SayTheirNames IRNUSA

They still supporting liberal USA even tho they are getting screwed senseless by the Biden administration ...

Or else what exactly…

Apparently, removing child sexual exploitation wasn't a EU content moderation req. EU did little to force old Twitter to act on rampant CSE under previous ownership. Now elonmusk is fighting for basic human right of free speech and ACTUALLY removing CSE, the EU is firing shots.

I five elon 2 days before he starts bullying the said official on twitter under the guise of free speech.

Musk is restoring the integrity of twitter as a platform for freedom of expression and those who sees this freedom as a threat are fighting tooth and nail to make sure he fails on his business project. They wish to continue controlling the public through propaganda

Let's just remember no one, NO ONE elected these EU officials. I hope he just moves out of the EU and ignores their stupid antics.
