Whoa France is raiding X office because they don't like what you can read on there (oh my god you can read everything and every opinions, poor me, poor French people)
I agree about the reason for the Grok part tho.
Still not ok.
Whatever we're trying to do (France) this is stupid.
@dimillian I mean, I guess if you like CSAM and hate speech it's a pretty good site. Anyone that wants to ban that is bad right?
@stevex Sure, because this is only what's in there, right? And here it's only butterflies and sunshine.
@dimillian And having a process for removing that stuff that works has nothing to do with it.
@stevex Well they do have report buttons, who knows what they do tho ha
@dimillian Maybe that's what the French are trying to find out.
@stevex Not sure you need to raid the poor French office for that, especially for the reason of "political interference". It sounds a bit like what the Kremlin could do and what a Russian newspaper would write if you ask me.
@dimillian They should unironically just ban X, I'm a strong advocate for the European Great Firewall. You can't have digital sovereignty yet let the town hall be owned by your unreliable ally.
@budududuroiu Great, why don't we ban mastodon too then? I think all online social medias are bad. we should only read national owned press.
@dimillian Because Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany, not a for-profit from the US
@budududuroiu and so what? They both don't regulates their content.
@dimillian I don't think you understand what I'm proposing. I don't think France/the EU should ban X for not regulating their content, I think they should ban X for the same reason China banned Facebook in the 2010s, so that they can give their home-grown alternative platforms a chance to thrive.
Literally every platform we use in Europe is owned by an American corporation, whenever me and you interact, do business, etc. a part of that money is siphoned as rent to the US.
@budududuroiu let’s do like China this is great.
There is literally no reason to force a home grown platform but to control the information.
I’m entirely against that.
@dimillian elon doesnt understand otherwise
@Openhuman Wha the goal? Ban X in France so we're forced to read only the official media and the echo chamber here???
i don't know about the media situation in france and their understanding of liberties.
I only know that in germany you can ban media however its very strictly regulated to the highest of hatespeech and crimes. there has been a handful of media that is banned since 1948
an example is "der stürmer" .
