This is the best summary I could come up with:


Oct 18 (Reuters) - 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.

The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things.

X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Why not just adapt to the new rules? Others have to do the same.

Musk threatens to kill off Twitter in the EU, and all the Europeans are going "hooray! Finally we can forget about that cesspool and go on with our lives"

Kinda reminds you of that scene from lethal weapons, Musk is the jumper, Riggs the Europeans and Murtaugh the Twitter employees.

Apparently, this news is not true, sadly.

Elmo said so himself on Xitter according to a Belgian news site.

Couldn't verify it though since I don't go on xitter.

If only Facebook would follow that lead. And others, too!

He doesn't have a choice. He wants to keep the misinformation farm going.
