  DSA only applies to Social Media doing in Europe. X can leave if they want. But since you believe gay men or jews aren't threated by nazis in Germany i'm not sure how to convince you anyway.

  I'm not sure this article is really about Europeans trying to tell Americans how to run their affairs. It's the results of a survey where yougov (A European organisation) asked other Europeans how they think European social media should be regulated. No suggestion that laws would/could/should be changed anywhere, and especially not in America.

  Sorry! Actually I am glad to be reassured that the comment I replied to is still considered egregious. The sentiments being expressed in that comment seemed genuinely similar to those of US secretary of state Marco Rubio when he revoked the US visas of two European CEOs from the "Centre for Countering Digital Hate" and the "Global Disinformation Index" today. The reason he gave was "Extraterritorial overreach by foreign censors targeting American speech". Perhaps that act was egregious too. But in this context a comment which accused Europeans of meddling in US affairs and threatening to kick them out did seem plausible. Of course the comment I replied to went much further than kicking people out of America and into crazy land with a suggestion that we kick Europeans off the internet! This should have been a give away... Again I'm sorry and will refrain in future.
