I had the same thought initially. I haven’t read the article, but assuming this picture isn’t fake they might be including artists from his last two campaigns. Rogers did in 2020, Bowie and Prince died in 2016

Usually I avoid internet arguments, these arguments were so bad though that I couldn’t resist
I cannot stress this enough. The EU isn’t trying to keep people from going to the site. They’re just saying if the people running the site Elon Musk knowingly use it to spread false information they will be legally liable.
I can’t help replying to this.
Depends on how you build the site, my dude. You can easily code it to block everyone and then putting in exceptions takes extra effort.
How many more rakes do you want to step on?
Your comment is too far down this list
The internet is indeed international, and also very much subject to territorial law. This is not new.
If you bother to read the article or the letter, no one is trying to keep people from accessing the site. They want X as a site to stop actively and knowingly pushing false information.
Imperialism is bad, so we have common ground there. However, not really relevant here.
Sincerely, have a good one and take care of yourself.
I really don’t understand your point at all. The EU sent them a letter pointing out that they have new laws and will be enforcing them. It’s on X to follow those laws, not follow them and pay the consequences, or geofence their service.
If Europeans want to go the site they will if its blocked or not, if it’s geofenced or not. VPNs exist. The point isn’t blocking X or preventing people from reaching it. It’s serving notice that they will be subject to the law
And it’s not like there’s one big ISP run by the EU where they can flip a switch to block X. They’d have to force each ISP to do it.
Ok… but your analogy doesn’t make any sense in this context. X isn’t eating lunch next to the EU. They’re selling sandwiches over the internet in the EU. The EU sent a letter pointing out that his sandwiches in the past have contained shit and we now have laws in place regarding shit filled sandwiches, so do not sell sandwiches that contain shit within our borders or we will pursue legal action against you.
Also, quit your bullshit. If the EU just blocked it outright there’d be a huge outcry about them censoring free speech.
I mean, pornhub pulled access to their website from my state and others because of state laws. Surely it couldn’t be that hard for X
Pump the brakes a little bit, you can’t say he never did it. You can say there’s no proof he ever fucked a couch. We may never know.
Does a Gacha count as gambling? I’m still missing some ZZZ Agents and some Nikkes
The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly-Poly Pudding
It’s a goddamn horror story

He’s absolutely free to say that. The advertisers are also absolutely free to decide they don’t want to do business with him anymore. That’s not censorship, it’s the market and freedom of association.
It is fucking wild to me that, that’s all it took to create backlash. That is so incredibly tame.
