What do we need to do to get him to remove it from America?

Join the EU.

Or pass their Digital Services Act and GDPR Laws in the USA.

Sadly, for the USA, each option is about as likely as the other.

Get New York and California to pass it. Might be enough. California has sort of done it lol

I’d vote to create the EAU. I think there’s a real thirst for having some sanity over here.

As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.

Not likely. This act would never pass the 1st amendment check.

Laws like these would thankfully get killed dead by the first amendment in the USA.

Stop trying to kill the Internet with overbearing government regulations.

That’s founder to you! The court says so, so it must be true. I’ve had to go to court to prove I started the laundry, so it makes sense he had to too. 😆

The people who previously ran Twitter wouldn’t have done it. C’mon Elon, are you as scared as they would be?

I hear Zuck once threatened to pull Meta out of the EU too. Musk is a real man though. No joke, he can probably be goaded to do it, just like how he got baited into buying Twitter in the first place.

As a Brit, I’ve never been more angry at Brexit than right now, when we could have been on the cusp of losing access to Twitter. I’d have been free from the temptation to lurk occasionally, but noooooo, the fucking Tories had to go and “Get Brexit Done” and so we have to still live in a world where I feel compelled to go over there and gawk at the mess.

Bastards.
