European officials continue to discuss punishments against X, formerly Twitter, including the possibility of a ban while Elon Musk’s controversial gesture at the presidential inauguration prompted a boycott of the platform on popular message board site Reddit.
Newsweek reached out to X and the European Commission for comment by email on Thursday morning.
Banning Twitter in EU should be treated the same as banning TikTok

Bans have never helped to stop uncomfortable opinions.
Thoughts are free and you can’t ban them.
The posters they want to get rid of will look for new places and grow.
Its a Hydra.

I don’t think reddit should ban Europe.
Even if few Europeans were rude to redditors, its still doesn’t justify punishing the whole continent.

Would be great!

Honestly, even as a non European I say ban it.
I’ve been on Twitter and Instagram and people were hella toxic. Far worse than reddit. Europe should get its own social media.

Ugh let’s deepen this emasculated echo chamber.

Any unmoderated social media should be banned in Europe? Already sick to death of all the disinformation. All the right-wing goblins in Ireland are frothing at the mouth over made up nonsense and exaggerations.

Reddit can’t ban Twitter links, neither Europe.

The hypocrisy of the real world will always amaze me.

Ban that idiot’s cars too.

EU should block X. Fuck Elon.

I give it 1 month before most subs will undo the X ban, because everyone has latched onto the newest controversy.

No. Stop this hysterical nonsense.

Yes. To hell with Europe. Long live BRICS!

Yes, I want my non elected overlords to ban something they don’t like. Seems perfectly in line with real life.

Genuinely curious, what is the benefit of banning other social medias?

Pleas do!

Good. Its shit.

If I had to give up a couple of conveniences such as Face, IG, Twitter, in exchange for kicking Melon Husk and Sucker-berg to the curb, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

I was ready to drop tolerance when he supported AFD. I want no german far right.
The argument is now better.
He should get no tolerance, no acceptance. If he wants to be a Putin or a Jefferson Davis, then it should be without help.

I love this Europe, ban ban and ban everything.

Europe won’t ban X, they don’t have the balls to do so. Guy is the most powerful man in the world, the Swedish Navy will soon start using StarLink and so will the Italian military, what do you think would happen if you piss him off? Guy bans people left and right on X if they piss him off, you honestly think he wouldn’t shut off Starlink if we do the same? We need him more than he needs us, and the Americans politicians would never allow us to hurt one of their biggest and most influential companies. The EU will bend the knee.

I am very much looking forward to reddit getting fucked by free speech.
Reddit is largely based in the US, and they will have to comply with the US gov sooner or later.

Banning X will backfire, as most bans usually do.
I’m hoping reddit can be next.
Pleaaaaase 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
