Elon Musk is considering taking X out of Europe amid EU compliance investigation(businessinsider.com) |
The EU is barrelling head first towards being a tech backwater. Unlike China it probably isn't going to implement internet censorship muscular enough to stimulate a set of competent home grown competitors; the Commission always likes to make other people do its dirty work so they'll expect the products themselves to do blocks but the incentives to make those blocks stick aren't really there beyond tickbox compliance. People stuck in member states will just use VPNs or other workarounds, and nobody will pony up the sums needed to build genuine competitors. In turn this means that the EU won't develop home grown replacements to unavailable services or any of the other products people already use, because it's just far too risky to invest the huge sums required when at any moment the Commission might arbitrarily change its mind (something it does regularly) or your target market just gets used to convoluted workarounds.
IMPORTANT: To all US tech firm employees reading this. Please remember that not everywhere in Europe is in the EU. The UK, Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine, Serbia, Iceland, Lichtenstein and a whole host of smaller countries are not. Over-blocking is already a big problem for people living in these countries due to things like the GDPR.
I am sorry but what makes you believe that the EU citizen and bureaucrats really want twitter that much? It's not power, water, or food production? It's just a website... If twitter disappeared, the next day something would take its place in the EU.
If a foreign company don't want to accept the laws of a country, they can leave, that's fine. I mean, I am sure that the bureaucrats would like nothing more than having a EU company taking over.
I like the fracturing, reduces the global hegemony of a single corporate entity controlling global communication.
I'm also in that camp....no more twitter, EU competitors would flourish.
The vast majority of comments on this website are from smart people that studied computer science, discussing many topics, talking completely out of their butt and often times being totally wrong about subjects outside of their field.
Being educated in one field doesn't always translate into other fields.
So you hate a celebrity for a past time. Do you get confirmation for this kind of behaviour on other websites?
Elon is an asshole. But the media didn't come after him until he started talking sense on Ukraine. Now every loser with a complex is using it as therapy to badmouth Elon.
Which is not to say there is no genuine merit behind your accusation, just that, without elaborating, it's impossible to know what they mean, as even just enforcing standing immigration law is far-right these days.

That seems to have been a simple screening fuck-up — probably by a relatively-young staffer — and the MP resigned his post as speaker in consequence.
1.) Tino Chrupalla im Artikel erwähnt ist rechtsextrem. Merz z.B. ist konservativ. Musk kennt wahrscheinlich nicht den wichtigsten, deutschen konservativen Politiker. 2.) AfD Propaganda ist zu teilen ist das Teilen rechtsextremer Propaganda.
Bisschen raus aus der AfD Blase.
"In einem ZDF-Interview nach seiner Wahl zu einem der beiden Bundesvorsitzenden Ende 2019 wurde Chrupalla wegen seines Aufrufs zu gemäßigter Sprache zu seinen eigenen Aussagen befragt. Chrupalla bestritt daraufhin, den Begriff „Umvolkung“ verwendet zu haben, obwohl Videoaufzeichnungen davon vorliegen. Chrupalla erwiderte dann, er halte den Begriff nicht für rechtsextrem und er habe ihn „nicht bewusst gesetzt“. Auch Ausführungen eines Teilnehmers derselben Veranstaltung, der Migration mit einem Genozid, bei dem die Deutschen durch ein „Mischvolk“ ersetzt würden, verglichen und verurteilte Kriegsverbrecher des Zweiten Weltkriegs als „Jungs, die am Galgen in Nürnberg geendet sind“, bezeichnet hatte, gab Chrupalla damals laut Videoaufnahmen „zum Teil recht“, was er im Interview dann bestritt; stattdessen behauptete er, dem Mann widersprochen zu haben.[58][59]"
I can't read German - what was the point?
I personally oppose an open immigration policy and I see myself more on the left in most issues. That's why the whole left / right divide is nonsense. I can oppose keeping minimum income low by employing(taking advantage of) people from poorer countries without being racist.
Calling Elon a nazi because he agreed with something a right leaning politician said is juvenile. And that's coming from a person whose family was targeted for extemination by the nazis (grandfather was an intellectual slav(dr.med.), can't have that screwing with the race theories).

Exactly. It seems that word (Nazi) just loses its meaning each time it is loosely used to describe someone that they don't like, in this case to Elon Musk and others. It is beyond childish and does a disservice to those who have fought actual 'Nazis' or have directly suffered under them.
So their best [0] was to find a guilt by association over Elon and this politician in the article, agreeing with being against open and uncontrolled immigration; therefore Nazi. Oh dear.
Maybe everyone who is driving Volkswagons today are also nazis or anyone working for IBM is also a nazi. /s
Welcome to the information war. Rules are simple: Never admit you're wrong and never forget you're fighting for the good side.

So Elon took a position on this issue in support of this politician. But my issue is what makes this politician a nazi? Genuine question as I'm not a German.
