Is EU going to be like China. Have to use vpn to use twitter.

So they want ramped up anti hate speech rules, whilst threatening him and his company in the same breath..

[pierredelecto]

Lol it's a website. They couldn't ban it if they wanted. They don't have an EU firewall.

Britain is not a free country. Are you high?

[divineantiwokegangster]

the eu has also a big problem with woke staffers, woke mindvirus is almost everywhere

[lenchenes]

I want elon to expose everything behind the scenes of govt meddling on electio/banning some personalities. But I'm afraid he be dead.

[majikslim]

It's like I'm watching CNN. Stopped watching about 6 months ago. Good riddance.

Wait, the internet, that thing the modern world has had for 30 plus years, might have information that is not true? Someone needs to construct a giant statue of Elon Musk’s middle finger. Maybe somewhere on the east coast would be nice.

Furthermore, Twitter has currently no Data Protection Officer in its European HQ in Dublin, who would be responsible for the compliance of the GDPR in all European operations. In principle, in absence of a data protection officer every EU country in which Twitter is operating (well, every country) can punish Twitter for breaching the GDPR.

the ol cliche goes, hate speech is not speech you don't like. its very subjective.

[brightadieze]

Come on guys., Elon and victim shouldn’t be in the same sentence …

[deborahfehner]

Darkness never does like the shedding of light on truth does it???

[kdhKJFGiht]

I always thought that European countries had Free Speech (because they were democratic)!

[djlow]

So take the ban. Leave the EU in the dark.

[Mega_DP]

The world would be better off with the EU being disbanded.

[bevbuber]

he talks way too much and should let her finish her sentences

[sbaker]

Tried to come back after a break from the rising but I just can’t with BJG. She is terrible. I’ll be back when she not on.

[Think-dont-believe]

That’s right it’s the Bri show … he needs stop acting like she listens… she is just catching her breathe to continue

Mr Musk instead of paying for a personal verification mark how about paying for content verification if as person or group wanted a statement fact checked and verified for a fee Twitter would fact check and rated for truth and facts

Pre-purchase Twitter had 13 bn US$ dept, thereof 600 Mio US$ net dept. Twitter hasn't made a profit in the last 8 years, net loss 2020: -1, 136K US$, 2021: -221K US$. In my mind, the company was doomed to fail anyway, because shareholders don't like to pump endless money into a company w/o prospect in the foreseeable future of gaining any return back.
More than 50% of Twitter’s revenue was gained in the US (89% advertising, 11% data licencing), while only 22% of its users reside there. Twitter’s 2nd. largest market would be Japan with 17% share of its users.
Twitter's worldwide operations are dependent on the US market's advertising revenue and losing users in its main market USA, means losing significance for advertisers thus less revenue in advertisement.

Several press outlets have reported that before and during Musk's mass-layoff spree some crucial workers were added to the layoff lists 'accidentially' and had to be asked to come back.
To me, it is an indication that Twitter's HR was badly organized in the first place, probably because the company has grown faster than the organisation could keep up with and hasn't professionalised it. Companies of this size, especially with corporations operating international and who are subject to report, have to have an HR plan, with job description and specifications for each post, as well as fixed positions lists, which would be negotiated anually with department managers. Each new position to be created must be approved by the board of directors.
