Europe been threatening and harassing him.
quote:
Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.
The billionaire has discussed removing the app's availability in the region, or blocking users in the European Union from accessing it, a person familiar with the company told the publication.

Do it.

If this were Apple or any other major tech company, they would be kowtowing to Europe and China over these issues.

Lawmakers in the EU would pop bottles if he did. Will never happen though.

See Tesla and its relationship with China.
See Twitter and its relationship with Saudi Arabia.

To make that kind of threat means X probably does not make a profit in Europe.
Posted on 10/19/23 at 10:17 am to Northwestern tiger
He should. Not worth dealing with them.

It doesn't make a profit anywhere.

Feels like a bluff-calling exercise. The issue is that you are providing fertile ground for a competitor to step in and take share. This isn't like ESPN/Disney playing hardball with Spectrum.

A competitor wouldn’t be used by the world so they can have at it. If there was an opportunity someone would’ve done it for EU already.

Telegram (a British outfit) is already competing directly with Twitter in Europe (and the world).

Doesn't appear to be a free speech issue, looks more like common sense with regards to not posting illegal things. Honestly we could use a little bit of this in the US since a lot of those flash mob thefts are coordinated on Social Media.
It also adds GDPR privacy laws, which would also be nice to have here in the US.
The only "controversial" thing I see is it restricts the ability to target advertisements, but I'm not seeing that as a deal breaker or first amendment issue (not that it would matter since this is Europe).

online platforms must implement ways to prevent and remove posts containing illegal goods, services, or content while simultaneously giving users the means to report this type of content.
DSA bans targeted advertising based on a person’s sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs and puts restrictions on targeting ads to children. It also requires online platforms to provide more transparency on how their algorithms work.
he DSA carves out additional rules for what it considers “very large online platforms,” forcing them to give users the right to opt out of recommendation systems and profiling, share key data with researchers and authorities, cooperate with crisis response requirements, and perform external and independent auditing.

Removing X would create that opportunity. Jfc.

He should do it. Not like he doesn't have enough data to mine from all posts from that region from inception to current date.

Well, then if he doesn't pull the plug, which I don't think he will, the opportunity won't exist. Is that another communist take?
