In few years we have moved from nonsensical Musk worshipping to nonsensical Musk hating.
I never liked Musk, even when he was "In." Even the Mars colonization meme rubbed me the wrong way, as the science does not line up with that.
It felt like a cult of personality to me. He was always a fickle jerk, a mixed bag.
You have a point though, people's opinions were largely political, I think. Or just based on pure hope/cultism
It's like JK Rowling all over again.
Here quite a few of the popular social media are banned. They're still popular but now every schoolkid, housewife and grandpa knows what a VPN is. Every time I hear such news, I am afraid of crackdowns on censorship evasion in those places too...
Does the article say anything about censorship? Usually bans like this are financial. So X offices would close in the EU and bank accounts seized and they wouldn't be allowed to conduct business (eg with advertisers) in the EEA
European politicians use X and its an assets for their governments. I doubt they are going to do much about it.
Petition to ban all people who think differently from me
Site doesn't load. I trust they're talking about banning it financially, not with a firewall, right?
They didn't ban it already? DOn't they have a filter list and they tell isps to block certain sites?
It kind of invalidates what the EU Committee is all about. This is just stupid, and calling for a ban in a free world is more concerning than X.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
