Except, they absolutely do? If Twitter wants to do business in Spain, it has to obey Spanish law. If it wants to succeed in the Spanish market, it has to appeal to Spanish consumers.
Your hypothetical scenarios are all based on a misunderstanding of my position here. It's absolutely the US's prerogative to take action against foreign companies that disseminate agitprop. Likewise, if Spain wants to step in and stop Twitter here, they can (and should!) do so.
That said, I think you're skipping the crucial middle step here where the citizens actually object to what Twitter is doing. Obviously, you think this is "propaganda" and "dictating the rules", but I don't see any indication that most people in Spain feel the same way. Where is the outrage from anyone other than a far-right political party that got ~15% of the votes in a historically low turnout election?
- MikeUt 5y agoHow convenient. Media mostly ignore an event. When there is predictably not much outrage among people that are largely unaware of it, claim this is evidence they think it's OK.
