Musk Drops Bombshell About European Commission’s Censorship Demands
The European Commission is described as an “executive” part of the European Union, and as such it often has operated as an entity unto itself, imposing regulations as it wishes. . .

“The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.”
Rucker commented, “Wow. … If Musk’s accusation is legitimate, then it would seem his platform is truly doing what they claim” of protecting speech. (Read more from “Musk Drops Bombshell About European Commission’s Censorship Demands” HERE)
