And those EU criminals will keep their jobs!-----Musk: EU Wanted "Illegal Secret Deal" to "Quietly Censor Speech"

...the european commission wanted 𝕏 to hire a team of people in the eu that would unilaterally oversee the removal of 'misinformation' on the platform... - Pirate Wires 
  • @elonmusk said the European Commission (EC) "offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone," they would not seek to issue daily fines related to 𝕏’s blue check verification system that could total 6% of the company’s annual revenue. 
  • "The other platforms accepted that deal. 𝕏 did not," his post says. 
  • Elon’s post came after EC commissioner Thierry Breton announced the Commission's preliminary findings that pre-Elon, blue checkmarks "used to mean trustworthy sources of information," but now violate the Digital Services Act because, today, "anyone can subscribe to obtain such a 'verified' status," therefore the commission may "impose fines & require significant changes."..
