In a democracy, the government dictates what you’re allowed to read and talk about.
The EU has issued a warning to Elon Musk over the alleged disinformation about the Hamas attack on Israel, including fake news and “repurposed old images”, on X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
The logical thing to do would be to let them do the blackout, and then hope the people of this terrorist bloc demand they have some kind of freedom.
But it would cost Elon a lot of money, and it is unlikely that anyone in Europe would be demanding anything.
Instead, it would make sense to just block all Israel and Palestine related content, because they are saying “you must force people to promote the Israel agenda,” which is not a reasonable thing for a social media company to do.
