Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation.
you might run but you cant hide.
Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under#DSAas of August 25.
Our teams will be ready for enforcement.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Disinformation is one of the gravest threats weighing on our democracies, said Barrot, as translated by Politico.
Twitter, if it repeatedly doesnt follow our rules, will be banned from the EU.
Google, TikTok, Microsoft, and Meta are all voluntary signatories.
Twitter, obviously, was also part of the group up until last week.
We cant have like willy-nilly proliferation of fake news, thats crazy.
Musk has previously stated that he believes free speech to be that which matches the law.
By free speech, I simply mean that which matches the law.
I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.
Lets see which way the DSA cookie will crumble.
