I'm Sure He'll Just Buy the EU

From Appleinsider:

The European Union has warned Elon Musk that it will ban or fine Twitter unless it follows its laws about content moderation that are set to go into effect in 2023.

Thierry Breton, the EU's commissioner in charge of implementing the union's digital rules, made the warning during a video meeting with Musk on Wednesday. The checklist of rules includes aggressively removing disinformation, getting rid of Musk's "arbitrary" approach to reinstating banned users, and more.

Musk has reportedly been told to give clear criteria on which users are at risk of a Twitter ban. Breton also called on Musk to apply strict rules around advertising, such as a ban on targeting kids or using sensitive information to target users with ads, such as religious and political beliefs.

The EU also wants Twitter to agree to an audit by the summer of 2023 and hand over information that includes the number of active users and banned accounts.
