Meta refuses to sign EU's voluntary AI code of practice as Joel Kaplan warns Brussels regulations create "legal uncertainties" that could hamper tech innovation across Europe.
Would be so nice if Meta will be seen as hostile and blocked Europe wide. The problem is, this can be interpreted as blocking Free Speech. But is it really Free Speech to misuse peoples rights and steal their privacy, that is against the law?
Free speech is the right to say what you believe without facing legal consequences from the government, not the right to publish what ever other people say uncritically, especially when what they’re publishing is directly inciting real harm to the public.
Their current moderation stance is akin to allowing people to shout “fire!” In a crowded public space.
In the 60s it was the atom bomb regulation they had to sign. A "few hours later" in 2025 it's the Ai regulation. My prediction 60 years from now, there will be a regulation of who an what you can do on Mars. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
