Das ganze Jahr 2024 über rumpelte EU droht mit Maßnahmen gegen Twitter/X für den Verzicht auf Faktenprüfungen. Der EU-Gesetz über digitale Dienste (DSA) stellt seine Anforderungen klar dar – so dass der Konflikt eskalieren wird. Wenn sich X nicht ändert, wird es vermutlich letztendlich aus der EU verbannt.
Meta hat beschlossen, den EU-Marktzugang lieber beizubehalten. Heute gaben sie bekannt die Abschaffung der Faktenprüfung, aber nur für Amerikaner. Die Europäer können weiterhin von den höheren Standards profitieren, die das Gesetz über digitale Dienste garantiert.
In den nächsten 10 Jahren wird die Macht der Fehl-/Desinformation durch KI zunehmen. Meta selbst scheint diesen Trend aufzugreifen, indem es gezielt gefälschte KI-Profile in seine Netzwerke integriert. Von nun an sieht es so aus, als ob die EU das Hauptschlachtfeld bei der Bewältigung dieses Problems sein wird.
Europe and America will increasingly come to diverge into 2 different internets. Meta is abandoning fact-checking in the US, but not the EU, where fact-checking is a legal requirement.

If I am remembering correctly, the EU also has the internet protected as well, no throttling. They seem to do a pretty good job at protecting end users.
Ultimately, what ends up replacing META? I don’t see Facebook being the top dog in a decade, especially with policies like this.
Not saying this can’t do damage in the meantime, but I know plenty of people who have closed their Facebook account. Are they waiting for a new META, I don’t know. But the social connection is popular.
Fact checkers turned out not to be fact checkers…literally in court.
If you think Europe’s regulation will mitigate any issues around misinformation you’re in for a bad ride. Europe will slowly transform into authoritarian states, much like what was envisioned in 1984.
Goddamnit, these shitforbrains Republicans neuter anything that’s actually useful to a functioning democracy and population.
I think I will access Facebook using a euro I.P. VPN then…
Hopefully we’ll see the collapse of these social media platforms. Their business models seems to be going more and more off.
Three different markets
1. Us – free speech without censor(no sense of truth)
2. EU – old tech with too much censor on all topics(eu sponsered truth)
3. China – almost us equitable tech with heavy censor on government related issues or topics, rest are uncensored af…….(Govt sense of truth)
So tech/ai war has just 2 contentdars, who ll control economy and tech in future as well…….. It’s us vs China.
It’s easy to see the broader trend of compartmentalization.
China is on its own internet. Europe. USA.
Something that was designed to connect is turning into a regionally divided service.
It’s a shame. But I guess you can’t fight human nature forever.
The EU is about to be the only place on the planet that isn’t an authoritarian misinformation filled shithole.
The internet is more than some shitty social networks.
