EU Tells Elon to Clean His Toilet

We were talking about the vaccine. Now you're pivoting to masks. You know what? I don't care. I'm in a very conservative part of the country and there are all kinds of people still wearing masks. We don't bother them, they don't bother us.

All the handwringing over masks is just a MAGA temper tantrum. If someone asks you to put on a mask, fucking be a responsible, kind person and fucking put it on!

Enough with the twumptard whining. The country is so fucking sick of it.

fuck mandates, and you dont get the idea that because the virus is less then 1/2 micron masks are useless
The exception is a respirator.

I put them on in the doctors and medical establishments -other then that those who tell/mandate me to put one on are ignored

Civil discourse in place of lunatic raving isn't such a bad thing. Maybe Twitter will try it.

It's a private - for profit - corporation.
He can run it anyway he wishes - within reason.
And if the EU doesn't like it?
They should mind their own, fucking business.

And if consumers are SOOOO offended by it?
Here is a novel idea...DON'T USE IT THEN!!!

BTW - I despise twitter.
And am no big fan of Musk.
But I am BIG on free enterprise.

one of these days you might understand size and the concept only a respirator type (n-95) works to stop viral infections

He can run the company however he wants within the law. If you don't follow the law in a country then you can't do business there. EU law restricts what customer information a company can collect and use. EU law also restricts what disinformation a social media company can allow on its platform. Musk is free to not do business in the EU and not do business in China and not do business in Russia. But that makes it much harder for him to have a profitable business if he is willing to restrict his customer base to the US.

Good for you. I'm big on public civility. It used to be taken for granted. It was termed, is termed, the public square. Now we have a digital public square but civility isn't observed there because people are able to hide in their anonymity and too many haven't the character to remain civil if they can be the pigs they prefer to be. So the EU has decided its digital public square will have some rules in this area. We should do the same.

Sure he can. There's no dispute. However he has to face consequences for allowing users free rein.

Show me where in the Constitution OR the EU 'constitution' where EXACTLY it says that the government has the mandate to determine which law-abiding customers, privately-run corporations/businesses can allow to use their service that does not promote violence or fraud?

That is the ONLY answer I am interested in.
The EXACT part of said constitution that gives the government that mandate.

And since - I assume - you can present no such 'part'?
This conversation is done.

Good day.

I support government's staying out of the private sector.
And not allowing governments to censor the private sector.
So long as the person/company in question is not promoting violence and/or fraud.

Whereas you are for the reverse - clearly.
That is weak and pathetic.

Now we are done.

Good day.

Hmmm.. I think I see your problem. A corporation is only law abiding as long as they abide by the law. A country has a duty to protect its citizens. If a country decides that certain acts are threats to their citizens and passes a law making it illegal to do those act then when a corporation does those things they are no longer law abiding.
Do you think a company should be allowed to sell children's cough syrup with lead in it?
Do you think a company can lie about the product they are selling or does the government have a duty to protect its citizens?

By the way, the part of the US Constitution that gives the government the power to regulate commerce between states is the commerce clause, Art 1 section 8 clause 3. Unless Musk is only creating and selling Twitter in Washington state he is subject to the commerce clause and Congress can regulate what he does.
