> “This notably means ensuring, on one hand, that freedom of expression and of information, including media freedom and pluralism, are effectively protected and, on the other hand, that all proportionate and effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding the amplification of harmful content in connection with relevant events, including live streaming. which, if unaddressed, might increase the risk profile of X and generate detrimental effects on civic discourse and public security. This is important against the background of recent examples of public unrest brought about by the amplification of content that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances of disinformation.”

Upcoming interview? So it hasn’t happened yet but they are demanding that it be censored?
Did they check with Bibi on this?

Thats not what the letter says.
Noone said Trump, you considered it to be a slight against Trump because it mentioned violence and misinformation
Yep, more passive aggressive agitation and suppression from the power drunk parasites who so badly want us to bug the fuck out on them.
When I read this bullshit, I picture the person who wrote/dictated it wearing the most smug, condescending trollface possible. Such fucking hypocritical liars, and delicate little flowers too. We can’t having anyone say anything that is inconvenient to their political narrative!! That might make them look bad!
Lol Elon will just tell them to go fuck themselves. These fucks really think they live in 1984.
