The fake news, the misinformation, the amplifiers, the conspiracies, etc.. Losing Twitter would be a win. It would be wonderful to be able to crack down on some of the groups on things like Telegram and FB and WhatsApp. The blatant lies they spread. And lies about lies too.
My wife is part of a group like this. And over the past week, as you can imagine, the channel is rife with bullshit. They have posted fake things, then deleted them and claimed they were hacked to explain why the post was made or deleted. And people were like, "oh yeah sure that makes sense"
I think it would only be a win if euro-comm does the same for WhatsApp, otherwise the fakes just get less transparent. And maybe this is all part of authoritarian countries cutting the world off from european ideas, see my other comments.
