Of course the US will fight tooth and nail to keep its propaganda machines at work all around the globe.

"activist" even trying to discredit foreign federal bureaus by framing them as politically motivated lmao what a bunch of fucking crooks in the US admin.
Censorship is when the French ask "what are you doing?"
Oh Rene...what are you doing with the painting of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies?
Them: Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard
Us: Free Palestine
Them: Terrorist!
By condemning this, the "US" is shooting itself in the foot.
Ever since Twitter owner used Twitter to say Canada "wasn't a real country", no Canadian should be using Twitter. That wasn't just bias, it was an "in your face and screw you" kind of bias.
US condemns....
Good. That means you're doing the right thing. Keep doing it.
Hasn’t Elon been found multiple times suppressing people who say things he doesn’t like?
About twice a day yeah
Martin: Organized crime?
Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.– Sneakers (1992)
Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"
offtopic: I love that movie. It shows everything right despite everything being not serious.

100% "X is an organized crime group". if you count brainwashing as a crime, which i do.
they're manipulating public opinion towards what the rich want to hear. it's all propaganda.
elon musk bought twitter to conduct "social engineering" after doing classical engineering before at tesla. it's all just a way to control what people think, and it's partially working. the people need to get off commercial social media and use something community-hosted, like the fediverse. to reduce the tinkering with recommendation algorithms and also to reduce the bot army.
Just block it in Europe already. Or give Musk daily-increasing fines so he has it turned off in the EU.
Just block it in Europe already.
The Brazil Government did this for a week and immediately extracted big concessions from Elon. Really curious to see the EU so reluctant to employ a tried-and-true tactic... assuming you believe these governments are adversarial to American plutocrats.
The Uk is never gonna block anything from the US let's be honest, the EU might and maybe the rest of Europe, but the UK will not follow.
As a UKian, this is unfortunately true. No matter how many of us want to just cut off the US completely, the government will always capitulate.

EU just rolled over on trade with US. If anyone hopes for some actual fight against US and US corporations coming for Europe they will be disappointment.
Very disappointing indeed. Hoping to at least see continued work on digital independence, especially in governmental entities.

Twitter only allows nazi speech now.
But Twitter censors all kinds of posts? There is no free speech on Twitter. Just try posting the word cisgendered and see what happens.
us only likes their own censorship
The US Administration, more importantly a branch of the department of state, condemns French inquiry.
A lot of the USA are cheering the French on.
It is not censorship. This is not a government telling you what to publish or not. This is just finding out how a company is abusing its product to influence politics.
Why are they defending an app/website that has essentially become a knockoff of Stormfront?
because the us government is essentially a knockoff of stormfront
Couldn't agree more.
A French Inquiry...
"Did you ehhhhhh.... do ze crime?"
"Non"
"Par Excellence! Time for some coffee and cigarettes!"
