They perfectly well have the functionality to make certain tweets and accounts inaccessible in certain regions. There's no reason to shut the account down globally.
- cbeach 3y agoThe problem is that if Putin demands Yulia's account is shut down globally then Musk has to comply, or Putin will pull the plug on x.com for all Russians (including Yulia). Whether or not Putin /should/ have global jurisdiction is irrelevant. He has the power to cut off x.com in Russia if x.com does something he really doesn't like. Rock and hard place.

- mamonster 3y agoDo they actually have that capability(genuinely asking, wouldn't know how it would work)? You know these tweets that get reported and investigated because they "don't comply with local German laws" or whatever? I would've thought if region locks were possible then this would've stopped happening a long time ago.
