      i’m very much not a legal expert, but that seems to me more a France problem. if an American, or a Brit, wants to talk shit on an American platform i feel they shouldn’t be legally liable just because France decides to listen in. if you don’t like how Twitter rolls then cut the platform out of your country

        They literally said if Twitter wants to exist in France they need to abide by French law.

        Most western countries use the doctrine of being able to prosecute people who have committed crimes against their citizens or people in their country.

        Wether or not these facts merit a conviction is something else entirely

        Its also not a lible case, btw

        Yeah. Cutting out those platform from the countries in which they break the law is actually the point; it is those platform problem if they want to make money in a particular juridiction.

      By the way musk acts, maybe, hopefully Twitter won’t be available in Europe in general much longer
