Dear EU, please pull the plug of TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram... the world would be better without these shitholes. We were fine before these existed, and we will survive without them. Greetings from Portugal, EU
- You can't solve this. Instead, schools should teach about misinformation and how to do a your own research the right way. Llts of people don't have this skill (or just a skill on how to use Internet).
  
  Just switch them all off. The future is the Fediverse. Don't feed these greedy corporations that spread hate and are harming the world. Vote with your wallet. Abandon. Boycott. Etc. :-)
- Let's just ban what we don't like, good idea
  
  Send it
- start with yourself, delete your aforementioned accounts.
  
  never had and of this bullshit, never needed it.
  
  Your shot missed the target. I never had an account on any of those shitholes, either.
- 9 people think they won’t be fine without social media, now you see it’s a huge problem, lol. Poor souls…
Gaza has the same amount of time to evacuate a million people as TikTok’s lawyers have to respond to Europe’s email.
This is day 4 of this article being posted.
I was about to say, the U.S. main news sources are filled with misinformation on this conflict. Please sue us.
- There's a reason Fox News is not operating in EU.
Hope they can get a big fine, because these companies won't do anything about it, when its a small amount 🤏

They allowed misinformation and propaganda because the foreign money & connection is too good.

Or what? A fucking slap on the wrist? GTFO with this.
- Or a fine of 6% of global revenue, which isn't small.
  
  And it isn't large enough, either.
- EU actions have benefited us all in many ways, from GDPR to even things like forcing apple to adopt usb-c. Calling out disinformation isn't a bad thing, maybe you should gtfo will this doomer talk
  
  How did GDPR benefit "us all"?
- A hefty fine ? And an additional fine for every day they are not in compliance ? And maybe banning the app in EU ?
  
  Let's say EU has plenty of options to hurt a company.
Wait. Wasn't Glenn battered to death?
I am interested how is misinformation defined here?
