    maybe after they warn him, they’ll slam him, and blast him, and maybe even do a little finger-wagging!

    the EU is usually pretty tough on corpos breaking regulations, i don’t understand why they keep acting like words are ever going to do anything to Elon. he doesn’t respond to threats, and no matter how many warnings they give him, nothing changes. come on, Europe, get with the program.

      We don’t have a regulatory framework for social media that can be used to combat this.

      If he makes flammable decorations or uses hazardous materials or whatever, the EU will come down on him like a ton of bricks. But it needs a legal regulatory framework to enforce, it can’t just decide to punish you post hoc. That’s what the rule of law is about.

      So call your EP, tell them you want social media regulations.

        Doesn’t Germany have the Network Enforcement Act? I thought it was specifically designed to fight fake news
