      This depiction is so accurate it might as well be used for entire Europe

      Ireland is the hub and staging ground of American dominance over European digital messaging. It’s a big part of their economy.

      I’m curious, considering simply watching it is illegal, could people using Elon’s CSAM platform for other reasons face legal consequences.

      It’s inevitable that people so very „concerned“ for „free speech“ are going to arrive to give some much needed hot takes, so let’s address that preemptively 😀

      twitter is not the only social media platform and most people use instagram and tiktok anyway. That doesn’t mean those platforms are better but that there are options. And every institution and public figure uses several of those options already

      But social media aren’t the only option now, are they? There are official websites, actual media, public releases, press conferences and so on and so forth – the official channels of communication with the constituents that have been there before social media and that are there still.

      „but.. but.. twitter is faster!!!“ and so is the internet itself. TV stations, media, internet shitposters, you name it – they all can immediately pick up something some politician communicates in the public space regardless whether it was twitter or not, and post about it. In fact, it’s actually media’s job to follow this shit day and night regardless of whether the statement first appears on twitter or not.

      But the best thing is that any politician can actually communicate with their constituents very directly. There’s nothing stopping them from setting up a public meeting with the constituents to actually talk to them, instead of posting some shit into the void of twitter internet where the constituents can freely scream at it with no reaction from the politician who posted it and only get picked up by far right extremist bots.

      So no, losing twitter means literally nothing for anyone’s free speech and even less for politicans‘ means to communicate with their constituents. 😀

      Every government & EU institution could be running their own BlueSky & Mastodon instances.

      Solves all the problems with moderation, digital sovereignty, and let’s them put it all under their own cybersecurity umbrellas. Plus, there’s plenty of phone apps out there that can deliver the same experience.

      So my guess is that politicians still on X are just in it for their egos.
