My point is that the Internet is international, it’s not Europes play space to enforce its shit on everyone else in the world.
Euros fucked over the globe enforcing their shit on everyone for hundreds of years, and they still sit back today and demand everyone follows their rules despite not even being European.
If you don’t want your people to visit these sites, you fucking block them.
The internet is indeed international, and also very much subject to territorial law. This is not new.
If you bother to read the article or the letter, no one is trying to keep people from accessing the site. They want X as a site to stop actively and knowingly pushing false information.
Imperialism is bad, so we have common ground there. However, not really relevant here.
Sincerely, have a good one and take care of yourself.
I cannot stress this enough. The EU isn’t trying to keep people from going to the site. They’re just saying if the people running the site Elon Musk knowingly use it to spread false information they will be legally liable.

If my server is in Europe and I am offering access to European citizens I should be allowed to follow United States laws because…
You don’t allow access to people, the default is everyone can visit a site. Sites have to put extra effort into blocking people.
I can’t help replying to this.
Depends on how you build the site, my dude. You can easily code it to block everyone and then putting in exceptions takes extra effort.
How many more rakes do you want to step on?
