"With great audience comes greater responsibility," Breton said. "As there is a risk of amplification of potentially harmful content in EU in connection with events with major audience around the world, I sent this letter to @elonmusk." Breton said in 2022 that "if [Twitter] does not comply with [the DSA], there are sanctions — 6 per cent of the revenue and, if they continue, banned from operating in Europe." Breton wrote in his letter on Monday: As you know, formal proceedings are already ongoing against X under the [Digital Services Act], notably in areas linked to the dissemination of illegal content and the effectiveness of the measures taken to combat disinformation.X CEO Linda Yaccarino responded directly to his tweet, writing: "This is an unprecedented attempt to stretch a law intended to apply in Europe to political activities in the US. It also patronizes European citizens, suggesting they are incapable of listening to a conversation and drawing their own conclusions."
Musk himself also mocked him with a meme.
Breton's threats are astonishingly stupid, arrogant and a clear attempt at election interference. The US should put sanctions on him personally for interfering in our elections and threatening our free speech rights. Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Minds and Telegram. |
