“Sandro Gozi, European Union parliament member, wants Elon Musk’s Twitter operation gone. Out of the European Union. Not no matter what. Only if Twitter — ’X’ — keeps flouting the EU’s censorship rules. … This threat comes right after EU official Thierry Breton’s threatening letter to Musk about his impending Twitter interview with Donald Trump. Musk told Breton to ‘[obscenity deleted]’ and proceeded with the interview. Other EU arbiters of speech quickly dissociated themselves from Breton’s threat. So maybe Gozi’s confidence about what fellow EU commissars will do if Musk does not play ball is misplaced. Perhaps the others will think about how Twitter users throughout Europe would react if their X accounts became ‘ex-‘ accounts.” (08/27/24)
