US companies doing business in the EU are bound by EU law, not US law. The US set that precedent so it's only fair that this works both ways. You may disagree with the law but using sanctions like this to go after people whose opinions you disagree with is textbook censorship and to do so in the name of free speech is absolutely ridiculous.
- miohtama 10mo agoThese particular people were happy to deplatform Trump in the past. He is guilty of hate speech and might be racist, old, senile, bully and idiot but he is still democratically elected president of the US. They can take their disagreement to him, and based on the history he is not happy what these people have done to him. So from the realpolitik, it is not ridiculous. And if they still think this is ridiculous take can summon Trump to any European court.
- jacquesm 10mo agoWasn't the mantra always that whoever owns the platform gets to decide who is on it? I don't care that Musk turned Twitter into a Nazi safe haven, I just left. DJT has no right to any coverage, prizes, diplomas and so on, he's just another politician and worse than most. The fact that he's democratically elected is a blemish on the USA just like Wilders is on NL. > And if they still think this is ridiculous take can summon Trump to any European court. Ok, so you're really just trolling. Goodbye.
- bigbadfeline 10mo ago> These particular people were happy to deplatform Trump in the past. Another prime example of advanced conservative thinking, for them it's always: wrong + wrong == right Maybe, it's just twice as wrong, no? Maybe, being "not happy [with] what these people have done to him" doesn't automatically make someone's actions right? How about twice as wrong again?
