The EU tells Musk: In Europe, the bird will fly according to our rules

Elon Musk today has completed the acquisition of the giant social network, Twitter.

Musk has often mentioned that Twitter must be the place where every word is allowed, regardless of the consequences it may have, whether they are hate speech or otherwise.

However, European Union Home Market Commissioner Thierry Breton warned the world's richest man now that Twitter must adhere to the rules of the big European family.

Referring to Musk's tweet, which said that “Zog was released”, Bretton wrote: “In Europe, the bird will fly according to our EU rules”.

He used the DSA hashtag a reference to the Digital Services Act, one of two new packages of EU legislation created to tighten social media regulation.

The EU is known for its tough policy towards giant technology companies, where companies like Apple and Meta are often fined hundreds of millions of euros for eventual regulation violations, Klankosova reported.tv.

META owner Mark Zuckerberg, earlier this year complained that the EU bloc is causing major losses for the company, as it does not allow the transfer of US user data, which prevents companies in the United States from targeting European users for advertising.

The EU has also recently drafted the law obliging phone companies since autumn 2024 to have the port of U charge SB-C, hitting hard on Apple Company, which uses the special port, Lighting.
