EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year::The European Union is pulling its advertisements from Elon Musk’s X for now, citing an “alarming increase” in hate speech and disinformation on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

This comment will make me sound like an idiot, but I’m just coming to believe that all of Musk’s decisions with X were targeted to this very outcome. To be the world’s centre of alt right propaganda. It just makes too much sense now.

Wasnt truth social already that?

Truth is USA only, so X has a much broader reach.

Does Truth Social actually not allow users outside of the US?

That’s hilarious. Do they do it by IP? Because I’d imagine a lot of their users might be troops stationed over seas. Course the military probably has WANs with .mil addresses that everyone uses.
