European politician Věra Jourová warned Elon Musk from the World Economic Forum in Davos that Twitter will face "sanctions" if it does not shut down some forms of speech.
Jourová, the European Commission’s Vice President for Values and Transparency, told Euronews Next that Twitter may face penalties for enabling free speech in violation of European Union regulations. "The time of the Wild West is over," she said.

Věra Jourová can go to hell, is she going to decide what is 'misinformation' or 'hate' speech? Are her opinions on those two areas bias to her political leanings?

I wonder if the discussion on Twitter of the efficacy and safety of covid vaccinations is what's troubling them. After all, they are making obscene amounts of money from mandatory compliance.

Makes one think that they've got many of The Details already worked out. Problem is our freedoms keep delaying their plans. Vera (and company) seems anxious.

The WEF and the EU are not your friends. They can pound sand. But beware of the White House, because they will comply. All three are out for Elon's scalp.

I probably shouldn’t have started reading Lucianne so late tonight. The Article grabbed my attention and shook me back awake. Attacks on our Freedoms are relentless and so we see clear lines right in front of us now. The Europeans and Canadians want to low tow to their overlords, fine. Musk&Peterson belong to us then. All I can see/hear is Andrew Breitbart

My take on censorship vs freedom of speech at #WEF23:
#AI is especially useful to detect other #AI production (bots). We must protect the freedom of speech of real persons not robots producing
So, maybe she is just talking about disinformation campaigns produced by Russia. She is a big Ukraine anti-Russia type.

Free speech is an American concept. Beyond our borders, it does not exist. Not in the way that it "used" to exist in the US.

Okay. Well then, Twitter should remove any assets in EU countries and put a notice on its site that "No EU residents are permitted to use Twitter because of EU censorship." Let them have their storm troopers raid those illegal Twitter users.

The European elites never learned the difference between the Wild West and the Free West. You'd think after helping them fight two world wars they would have gotten the idea.

A government that attempts to censor speech is an illegitimate government.
The EU is a petty dictatorship masquerading as a democracy.

If speech is going to be censored, start with Vera.

Stop flapping your gums about shutting down a freedom because it's bad for the New World Order. You know what else was bad? Hitler's Nazi Germany, and that cost the lives of tens of millions of people to end that.

Musk will politely inform her that the European Union is over. This bunch of sanctimonious blowhards blew it a long time ago.

#7, I know you didn't mean to type "low tow" but somehow it fits very well.

My response to her is , braahawwwhawwwhawww! If you don’t like what I’m saying you may leave, the truth always floats to the top. Just like whack a mole, if I can’t talk on Twitter I’ll pop up somewhere else still talking. Mis, Dis, mal are code words for thought control

It's as if they think Orwellian doublespeak is a virtue. Here she cheerfully describes ending freedom of speech, but says of her ilk, "we are the protectors of freedom of speech as well."
