EU official says Twitter abandons bloc’s voluntary pact against disinformation

[BidenPresident]

LONDON (AP) — Twitter has dropped out of a voluntary European Union agreement to combat online disinformation, a top EU official said Friday.

European Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeted that Twitter had pulled out of the EU’s disinformation “code of practice” that other major social media platforms have pledged to support. But he added that Twitter’s “obligation” remained, referring to the EU’s tough new digital rules taking effect in August.

“You can run but you can’t hide,” Breton said.

The truth is what your overlords say it is.

If you refuse to agree then you will be hurt.

So in other words..Twitter decided not to participate in an EU program designed to stomp out dissent online. Good for Twitter.

Apparently Dieseasel likes the government deciding what is approved speech and what isn't. What a shock.
