Breaking: EU Warns Musk Of Twitter Ban Over Content Moderation
During a video meeting, a threat was made during which a European commissioner urged a billionaire to conform to strict restrictions.
The EU has threatened to shut down Elon Musk’s Twitter unless the billionaire follows its stringent guidelines for content moderation, igniting a legal war over the survival of the social network.
Strict Rules Imposed
According to persons with knowledge of the event, Thierry Breton, the EU commissioner in charge of carrying out the bloc’s digital regulations, issued the threat during a video chat with Musk on Wednesday.
Breton gave Musk a number of requirements to follow, including giving up the practice of restoring banned users in an “arbitrary” manner, combating misinformation “aggressively,” and agreeing to a comprehensive independent audit of the platform by the following year.
Violations To Be Costly
Musk was informed that Twitter risked breaking the EU’s new Digital Services Act, a historic law that establishes the global standard for how Big Tech must regulate content on the internet.
Breton reaffirmed that under the law, Twitter might be subject to a ban across all of Europe or fines of up to 6% of its worldwide revenue.
