Looks like the EU is going to de-platform X (Twitter) is this keeps up.
A couple of articles to give you a taste of the furore:
EU Invokes Censorship Law To Threaten X, Accuses it of Allowing "Disinformation" (reclaimthenet.org)
And
The EU ,or rather “the grandpa of EU censorship” – one old white man’s opinion is here:
“Commissioner Thierry Breton, the EU’s head honcho for industry and the digital economy, and someone who has also threatened Musk in the past, didn’t mince words in his new demands of Musk. The stakes were laid bare in his letter, demanding that Musk urgently address these grievances within a mere 24-hour window and engage with “relevant law enforcement authorities.”
Ok, so Breton has reviewed a few billion tweets in the last five days and has the opinion that crimes are being committed by X and its users. Fast work for a grandpa.
“Following the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas against Israel, we have indications that your platform is being used to disseminate illegal content and disinformation in the EU.”
Interesting. Grandpa knows that Europeans are accessing the global network of X and are being “disinformed” with “illegal content” – presumably Europeans are being harmed either by themselves or non-Europeans.
More perspective on the new EU’s Digital Services Axt here:
The EU's Digital Services Act is the next big threat to free speech (reclaimthenet.org)
This is, of course, a harbinger of the censorship powers in the Act, covering such topics as Net Zero and mRNA injections.
Musk’s response?
“Elon Musk on X, Affirms The IDF Claim That Hamas Is A Genocidal Terrorist Organization”
The Daily Presser article shows lots of tweets in past years from those seeking the extermination of Israeli (and Americans) – none of which seem to have attracted the attention of grandpa Breton – just the recent billions of tweets post the attacks on Israel by Hamas.
Within the 24 hour window imposed by grandpa, Musk has said this:
Almost everyone knows that opinions are like butts noses, everyone has them and they all smell. What seems to escape Breton is that he also has a nose.
Onwards!

Another 'situation' is created to make more 'problems', and then bring on the enforced solutions...so the abusers can continue making yet more money because...
"We are as close to a Global Currency Reset as we are touching the eye of the Storm. In all the mayhem confusion and panic we are set to take everything away from the old ruling powers vis-à-vis the Central Banks to crash the old guard Jekyll Island US Federal Reserve System spread throughout the world by the Bretton Woods post WW2 agreement which enslaved humanity. A takeover and co-opt of the old SWIFT system by the Quantum Financial System QFS will totally divorce Central Banks and Governments from stealing our money and controlling our future."
Sounds most excellent.
Hi Peter, am certain Elon will figure this out. He is, after all, a gradute of the WEF Young Leaders Program. Meanwhile, did you see this John Campbell interview from 2 days ago? "VAERS data with Dr Jessica Rose" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRyaJr85qL8&t=18s - see what you think...
