Elon Musk might not be the CEO of Twitter anymore (let’s globally refuse to call him X, please, let’s not pander to the billionaire), but he’s the one calling the shots. And the evidence is that every new decision they make is worse than the last. The latest one is that Twitter might leave Europe to avoid complying with the European Union’s regulations. Quite the genius, that guy.
If I don’t hear you, you don’t exist
Users who have spent half their lives on Twitter and have been playing the violin while the ship sinks are astonished to see Musk, instead of helping us with lifeboats, coming with an axe to break the deck and let us drown as quickly as possible. In other words, he intends to block entry or directly ban the app in European territory.
And what is this terrible thing that the EU has approved regarding social media that the magnate hates so much? Well, a series of laws to prevent the proliferation of harmful content, prohibit or limit hate practices towards specific users, and share internal data with regulators and associated researchers. Oh, no, what a horror, a better internet, this cannot be allowed.
This decision adds to others that Musk has decided to take in recent months, such as lifting account bans, making new users pay one euro per year to avoid bots, or charging more to those who were already paying. You can tell things are going well when he has to scrape money even from under the rocks: before his arrival, Twitter was a horrible network, yes, but at least it was our horrible network.
Now it’s the horrible network of an evil genius. Without a doubt, we have come out as losers. Let’s play the violin faster; this is coming to an end.
