European Commissioner Thierry Breton just joined Mastodon!

His first post, published right after a call with Elon Musk, made it clear that there is still huge work ahead for Twitter to comply with EU law:

1. Reinforce content moderation
2. Tackle disinformation
3. Implement transparent policies based on objective criteria (i.e., not via Twitter polls)
4. Limit targeted advertising
5. Prepare for an independent audit

Welcome, @EC_Commissioner_Breton!

@EU_Commission
I'm really intrigued by the idea of institutions, bodies, and agencies running their own instances on the #fediverse - love the social.network.europa.eu pilot!

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton it's apparent that Twitter lives freely in the minds of many Mastodon users, just like Trump to Progressives. Move on, do your own thing! Your concerns over Twitter are getting old.

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton so the unelected EU Commission want to be arbiters of truth. What a surprise.

1/ For people to have proper discussions, there must also be disagreement on subjects.
2/ Who is to determine who is pushing the disinformation. For several years the CDC, NIH, Fauci, the media & the US Gov't were the largest purveyors of half-truths, innuendo & outright lies, especially during the covid plandemic.
3/ Most of the polls around are hosted by the media & think-tanks whose questions are skewed to the far left.

4/ I can understand the targeted advertising. Fascistbook is very bad with that.
5/ an audit? Do you do that to EVERY privately held company?

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton Have we forgotten the right to erasure?

I'm proud to be a young European, because the EU is always the first (and only) to regulate big tech companies with real actions - from the GDPR to the DMA. I hope you will support Linux and open source specifically in the future.

Twitter's censorship of left-wing voices and promotion of previously banned right-wing accounts is a red flag and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Musk himself needs to be pushed to reinstating accounts of leftists who got banned in the "purge".

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton Welcome to Mastodon. First tip: Talking about #birdsite isn't cool. Most here are trying to forget it. Trauma, you know.

Watching the EU push back on Elon Musk is a beautiful thing to behold. I wish the US would do that too!

This strikes me as more important in that after Breton spoke with the twits he is apparently upping the ante .. I love that he is rejecting Musk's Hitlereaque/Putinesque fake vote - those #polls #fuckMusk are largely answered by bots anyway.

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton why should Twitter care about Europe wants? It doesn’t need be based there subject to Euro law & folks can access it through VPN so Europe can’t stop citizens using. I’m not Twitter fan but equally Europe are regulation control junkies. You might think they can restrict advertising but advertisers are multinationals and can get round it. Thank heavens my country UK dumped EU and lots of its nonsense.

You know this, but the most serious problem here (of course) is that Musk is going to try to scam you.

Who the f*ck cares about the EU? Just a bunch of socialist politicians getting rich on taxes and destroying lives of all.

If any EU politician happens to see this, f*ck you so much.

Fortunately I am able to hire lawyers to protect myself against the greedy socialism in europe but I feel sorry for the people who cannot and who are forced to slave away to support the public sector.

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton looks like Twitter just lost the EU! Good for Elon, he’s doing a bang-up job destroying Twitter! I left as soon as he bought it.
