How about we just fine them to oblivion and make the people responsible answer for their crimes?

How about we start throwing executives into jail starting with the top and working the way down?
How do you enforce the fines? Wouldn't you have to invade the USA to enforce any meaningful fines.
Elon Musk does a lot of business in Europe. You seize his assets in Europe to enforce the fines.
Pay up or you're banned
I'd rather not see a great firewall of Europe.
I'd be happy to see them banned from doing business here though. Hit them where it hurts, their money.
Yes, I wish they would ban Tesla cars in Europe. That would be amazing.
There are an outrageous amount of Tesla vehicles in Lisbon. But there are some beautiful Chinese brands that are now undercutting them. With I think Forthing as a direct competitor.
Nearly half? Sheesh.
Maybe it's because most Europeans don't have a strong opinion about X. I really don't think it's quite as popular here as in the USA. Which is also the reason many don't know how unhinged the current admin is.
A lot of politicians and governments still use it as an official platform. I wish they would stop doing that and giving it any sort of legitimacy.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
Don't count uk as Europe plz, they ban everything. They'll ban your momma for saying god bless you.
And there is our main argument against ChatControl.
What is?
It should’ve been banned long ago. It’s insanity that, it is not banned yet. There’s so much illegal content through Grok and so much* hatred on X.
And yet most politicians here still use it. Any that's still using it I consider a child rapist and fascist/nazi enabler. Sadly that leaves very few left to vote for.
I'm sure they expressed this on X.
How about just banning it for the good of humanity?
I want them banned even if they aren't. Twitter is a shithole and has only made things worse since Elon has taken over. If people aren't gonna move off it because it's a Nazi shithole then force them to move off.
Nearly half is less than 50% democracy therefore says it stays. Seems pretty clear cut to me.
