sucius1 ( @sucius1@lemdro.id ) English132•9 months agoGood
Sigmatics ( @Sigmatics@lemmy.ca ) English40•9 months agoGoodbye
trollercoaster ( @trollercoaster@feddit.de ) English30•9 months ago…and that’s why they put a “good” in “goodbye”
Che Banana ( @Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml ) English9•9 months agoAdios!
Sneaky Bastard ( @sneaky_b45tard@feddit.de ) English84•9 months agoYeah go on Elon, less fakenews in europe is a total win
bbbhltz ( @bbbhltz@beehaw.org ) English35•9 months agoThe fake news, the misinformation, the amplifiers, the conspiracies, etc… Losing Twitter would be a win. It would be wonderful to be able to crack down on some of the groups on things like Telegram and FB and WhatsApp. The blatant lies they spread. And lies about lies too.
My wife is part of a group like this. And over the past week, as you can imagine, the channel is rife with bullshit. They have posted fake things, then deleted them and claimed they were hacked to explain why the post was made or deleted. And people were like, “oh yeah sure that makes sense”
Ben Matthews ( @benjhm@sopuli.xyz ) English4•9 months agoI think it would only be a win if euro-comm does the same for WhatsApp, otherwise the fakes just get less transparent. And maybe this is all part of authoritarian countries cutting the world off from european ideas, see my other comments.
Rentlar ( @Rentlar@lemmy.ca ) English56•9 months agoPerhaps Mr. Musk would be receptive to the following message:
Hey Musk! You’re not a bitch like Zuckerberg right? Show the world the man that you are and pull out of the EU like you mean it! I dare you! You won’t if you got no balls!
Pleb ( @pleb_maximus@feddit.de ) English8•9 months agoYeah Elmo, do it! You can show the whoel world how much more of a man you are! Do it!
Gamey ( @Gamey@feddit.de ) English3•9 months agoDo it, do it, dot it!
SomeDude ( @ProcurementCat@feddit.de ) English43•9 months agoYes Elon, please. That’d be the smartest thing you ever did.
bedrooms ( @bedrooms@kbin.social ) 3•9 months agoAt this point every SNS app can just boycott EU in protest of the e2ee ban, and that’d only make a better world.
Foni ( @Foni@lemm.ee ) English37•9 months agoFacebook said the same thing a few years ago and here I am, waiting for them to go away
Mark Zuckerberg, for all his flaws, seems to be a functioning adult.
Gamey ( @Gamey@feddit.de ) English13•9 months agoAnd a somewhat calculating buisiness man, I have far higher hopes for little Elon in this case!
Schnabeltierpoet ( @Schnabeltierpoet@feddit.de ) English34•9 months agoOh well, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out…
vzq ( @vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English34•9 months agoThe fact that he says he’s “considering it” means he’s not going to do it.
Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.
N4CHEM ( @N4CHEM@lemmy.ml ) English5•9 months agoEh, he “considered” buying Twitter and was forced to fulfill his agreement. Maybe we get lucky and it happens again.
dEVbiKub ( @dEVbiKub@feddit.nu ) English1•9 months agoExactly, considering before acting hasn’t really been his style since placing his bid on the company, shooting from the hip on the other hand…
lulztard ( @lulztard@feddit.de ) English33•9 months agoDon’t get your hopes up, kids. The cunt won’t.
nicetriangle ( @nicetriangle@kbin.social ) 33•9 months agoYes please. This would further accelerate its fall from being considered the defacto internet town square.
trollercoaster ( @trollercoaster@feddit.de ) English7•9 months agoIt is the internet town square. Of a town run by the likes of Elon Musk. Badly neglected, crime taking place on the streets in broad daylight, hateful graffiti smeared all over the place, people taking shits right in the middle of town square, and nobody to clean it up nor stop the perpetrators, because the mayor has an odd liking for faeces, and occasionally likes to take a good old dump in the middle of town square, himself, too.
gapbetweenus ( @gapbetweenus@feddit.de ) English31•9 months agoI think he is also toddler enough to do it.
Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English29•9 months agoClearly nothing shady at all when your company makes threats (empty or otherwise) that they’re gonna disappear from your country if you investigate them for incompliance.
Nothing to see here, just move along. /s
DarkThoughts ( @DarkThoughts@kbin.social ) 27•9 months agoJust do it.
crispy_kilt ( @crispy_kilt@feddit.de ) English23•9 months agoPlease, do!
schnokobaer ( @schnokobaer@feddit.de ) English22•9 months agoThat would genuinely be so good.
Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) English22•9 months agoNive! Now how can we get Zuckerberg to do the same?
