If you want X and other American social media platforms to keep undermining your democracies then sure just fine them. But if you want to get serious then kick them to the fucking curb

Absolutely, but you have to think why the European Union hasn't done this to date? It's totally within their gift to say that Twitter is such a dog shit platform that tomorrow it will be blocked, no European company can do business with them. But they don't. Why is that?

in a democracy the latter has to be preceded by the former.
Forgive me for being jaded and bitter about the opposition party being nothing BUT ineffectual talk.

Oh, gosh! That sounds SO bad! Go on, tell us in explicit detail all the drastic measures that X would face. Tell us all the pain they would endure! Spare no detail.

Yeah.....yeah almost there....
I don't understand the downvotes for this, this was my thinking too.

But $60B is more than Musk bought Twitter for, and there's no way it increased enough that $60B would be a reasonable percentage of income in any capacity.
I fully acknowledge your point and don't disagree. On the other hand, who ever said we have to treat Nazis reasonably?

I believe it when they actually do it
Theyve find meta for 800 million in the past.
There's a reason there's so much anti EU sentiment on social media.

Democracy and the rule of law. If you pick and choose groups to treat differently, that's authoritarianism. Don't fight authoritarianism with authoritarianism.
