Yeah this issue is certainly complicated with Elon. On one hand there are still a lot of banned conservatives. On the other, he is fighting socialist Europe because they want him to censor stuff based on a "vetted team" of brownshirts that will decide on what will be censored (even if it would not be in the US). He is standing up to them and will take them to court. If he declines to censor their crap, X could be fined up to 6% of their global yearly revenue per incident.
It's been on OAN the last 2 days, and actually (coincidence?) just came on while I was typing this.
My hope is that Elon is playing a balancing act until Trump gets back in, and hopefully some laws will be changed to stop the socialist crap the dims put in. At the minimum, the people in charge of those agencies will be gone.
Elon doesn't have to pay Europe anything. It's an American company. What can they do? If they ban X, it'll just cause everyone to use vpns.
He's a phony.
Maybe go back and look at some of the other crap Europe has done to American companies. I still remember them going after Microsoft for simply putting Internet Explorer on Windows installs. Do a search for "Europe fines American companies".
Here is an AI blurb from Brave:
The European Union has been increasingly scrutinizing American companies, imposing significant fines for alleged antitrust violations. Here are some notable examples:
Google: The EU has fined Google a total of €8.2 billion (approximately $9.5 billion) for breaching antitrust rules. The fines were issued for various violations, including Google’s dominance in the search engine market and its treatment of competitors. Microsoft: Microsoft has been fined €2.2 billion (approximately $2.5 billion) for violating antitrust rules. The fines were issued for Microsoft’s alleged abuse of its market power in the software industry. Apple: Apple has been fined €1.84 billion (approximately $2 billion) for restricting competition in the music streaming market. The fine was issued after Spotify complained that Apple was stifling competition by limiting access to its App Store. Google: The EU has also fined Google €2.7 billion (approximately $3.1 billion) for developing a search engine and giving it away for free in exchange for users accepting that the company gives priority placement to some of its profitable services. Reasons for Fines
The EU has been cracking down on American companies for various reasons, including:
Abuse of market power: The EU has accused American companies of using their market power to stifle competition and limit innovation. Restrictive business practices: The EU has fined American companies for engaging in restrictive business practices, such as limiting access to their platforms or services. Failure to comply with antitrust rules: The EU has fined American companies for failing to comply with antitrust rules, including failing to provide adequate information to regulators or refusing to cooperate with investigations. Impact on American Companies
The EU’s antitrust enforcement actions have significant implications for American companies operating in the European market. The fines can be substantial, and companies may face reputational damage and legal challenges. Additionally, the EU’s actions may set a precedent for other regulatory bodies to take similar action against American companies.
Conclusion
The EU’s increasing scrutiny of American companies is a growing trend, and companies must be aware of the risks and consequences of non-compliance with antitrust rules. American companies operating in the European market must ensure that they are complying with EU antitrust laws and regulations to avoid fines and reputational damage.
