It's like what Google did in China. They did not want to agree to the censorship terms imposed by the Chinese government so they stopped operating there. (It looks like they are reversing course on this now and may release a censored version soon, but that is neither here nor there)
The Polish government cannot make Twitter do something it does not want to and still permit it to operate in the country. They will have to ban it outright if Twitter does not agree to their terms.
- rhn_mk1 6y agoThe Polish government can make Twitter choose: do this, or face the consequences. Consequences being getting out, or facing fines, or whatever. What Twitter wants is irrelevant if it's not within what the local government wants. There's nothing absurd about that.
