The EU is more likely to enact more censorship than other way.

This. The chat control 2.0 law includes blocking orders. And Ursula von der Leyen tried to introduce internet censorship when she was still in German politics.

Tried? She already did EU-wide with the RT ban. Doesn't matter what your opinion on russian state media is, the censorship regime is now in place and it's easy to expand. (Not to mention the EU describes itself as democratic yet has the need to censor)

You don't have "your MEP" in most EU countries. They don't care about you because their loyalty is to the party, not the voter. They need to be with good standing with the party to even get on the list.

There are so many indirections in that "democracy" that it's no longer a democracy at all. You don't get to vote on issues, you don't get to vote on people (they are just a proxy for a party). You just get to vote on 2-3 reasonable parties (if even that). There is nothing you can do in that system about a specific issue.

That's oversimplification. EU is composed of people vetted by lobbyist/old money groups, elected and approved by member countries. Their primary allegiance is not to the voter.

I'm not forgetting that.

> and appointed by member countries [..] Also go vote during your next election

That's an important detail. I had no chance to vote against Zensursula.

You can't vote for the EU commission and the parliament has no power.

Germans don't call her Cenzursula for nothing.

Yes to be honest the "But You're Still on Facebook and TikTok?" part is not really convincing. It's like they dislike Musk but miss the boat to quit for just this reason.

On the other hand I don't think have ever seen their posts on X, I mostly hear about them via their mailing list.

But what is the cost of posting on X? Why do they even have a blue tick?

It lends legitimacy to a declining site controlled by a white supremacist and filled with more neo-nazi’s by the day.

The fewer legitimate organizations posting on twitter, drawing eyes and views to the site, the better.

Yes but they say the cost is not worth it due to the impressions they get, not that's it about politics.

Its a bit silly to say that they are declining. For its specific niche (mass short form/viral content) there simply aren't any relevant competitors that even come close.

That cost should be $0, so that's not the issue.

That cost being $0 would be the most extreme case of the issue.

Taping tissue paper over the tweeter of ns10s was popular in studios back in the day ;)

And yet they didn't.

That can't be ... "Spotify engineers haven't coded since December"

Doesn't even feel like they've committed code since December 2023

The school was part of the military base years ago, possibly the origin of the strike.

Next it will be all devices able to run Doom.

I don't see the appeal, it takes more "clicks" to do many actions and I had to disable the ridiculous new oversized "rectangle tab preview block" (whatever it's called).

yes exactly, their design was already better than chrome and condensed but now we have these outdated round and padding heavy toy controls again, just why?
