The European Union threatens Elon Musk to ban the Twitter platform
The European Union has threatened Twitter owner Elon Musk, with a ban on the platform unless it adheres to its strict rules on content moderation.
European Commissioner for Market Affairs Thierry Breton said, in a video call with Musk, that Twitter must abide by a list of rules, including abandoning the “arbitrary” approach to reinstating banned user accounts and agreeing to a “comprehensive independent audit” of the platform by next year.
This came, according to what the Financial Times quoted, according to people familiar with the conversation between Breton and Musk, on Wednesday.
Breton has previously urged Musk to comply with the EU’s historic rules against hate speech and misinformation online.
According to the Euronews, Breton told Musk that he should do more to combat false information in order to comply with European Union law.
