EU warns Musk to abide by content rules 1 It is reported that the EU today warned Tesla CEO Elon Musk that Twitter must abide by the EU's new digital regulations, otherwise it will face huge fines or even bans.
Thierry Breton, Commissioner of the EU internal market, told the media that after accepting Musk's $44 billion takeover offer on Twitter, the EU's rules restricting censorship of illegal and harmful content must be observed in the future.
Braden said: "We welcome everyone. We are open, but there are conditions. At least we know what to say to him:' Elon, we have rules. You are welcome, but this is our rule. Your rules do not apply here. "
Considering that millions of people rely on Twitter for news, Musk's privatization of Twitter may make Musk a social media tycoon. Previously, Musk used Twitter to attack regulators and critics.
Musk said on Monday that "freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy" and described Twitter as "a digital city square to debate issues that are crucial to the future of mankind". Musk also said that Twitter's content censorship policy should be relaxed, and he described himself as an "absolutist of freedom of speech".
Braden is one of the most influential digital regulators in Europe. Just a few days ago, the European Union signed a new legislation that will force large technology companies to monitor online content more actively. Braden said that he hoped to conduct a "realistic test" of Musk's less strict content censorship plan.
When talking about the EU's new digital service bill, Brayton warned that Twitter's non-compliance may lead to its ban in Europe. He said: "Anyone who wants to benefit from this market must abide by our rules. If operating in Europe, the Twitter board must fulfill its obligations, including content censorship, open algorithms, freedom of speech, transparency of rules and compliance with rules on hate speech, retaliatory pornography and harassment. "
Braden added: "If Twitter doesn't abide by our laws, it will be sanctioned and fined 6% of its revenue. If you don't change your education, you will be banned from operating in Europe. "

"

EU warns Musk to abide by content rules 3 Britain and the EU warned that Twitter must abide by the new content rules, or it will face sanctions ranging from fines to total ban, because some people are worried that hate speech on the platform owned by Elon Musk will increase.
Musk declared that Twitter would be absolutely liberalized.
The Guardian reported that the richest man in the world has agreed to buy this social media network for 44 billion dollars (34 billion pounds), which will hand over the control of the platform with 2170,000 users to a self-proclaimed "free speech despot".
A spokesman for the British government said that companies must abide by the upcoming cyber security bill, which requires platforms to protect users from harmful content, otherwise they will face the threat of huge fines and repeat offenders will face a total ban.
"Twitter and all social media platforms must protect their users from harm on their websites. We are introducing new cyber security laws to protect children, prevent abuse and protect freedom of speech. All technology companies with users in the UK need to abide by the new law, otherwise they will face huge fines and be banned. "
Thierry Breton, Commissioner of the European Union's internal market, reminded Tesla's CEO on Tuesday that he must abide by the newly passed digital services bill, which requires online platforms to deal with illegal content such as hate speech.
Brayton wrote on Twitter: "Whether it is cars or social media, any company operating in Europe needs to abide by our rules-regardless of their equity." "Mr. Musk knows this very well. He is familiar with European car rules and will soon adapt to the digital service law. "
In an interview with the Financial Times, Brayton added: "We welcome everyone. We are open, but it depends on our conditions. At least we know what to tell him:' Elon, there are rules. You're welcome, but it's our rule. Your rules do not apply here. "
He went on to warn that companies that violate the new regulations, which are expected to take effect in 2024, may face a fine of up to 6% of global turnover, and they are completely prohibited from committing crimes again.
The bill will require social media platforms to allow users to mark illegal content in a "simple and effective way". Such as promoting terrorism or commercial fraud, so as to be deleted quickly.
