A) This Brussels office is not Twitter's only, or even main, presence in the EU. So this probably isn't a "fine I'll just leave" thing.
B) This comes in the middle of a spat about whether Twitter is actually allowed to stop censoring things. The FT article sounds like this was probably the office responsible for coordinating Twitter's censorship policies with government policy makers?
