Wait, a supposedly federate-able, but at the moment centrally-controlled social media app isn't following the rules?
I'm shocked, shocked I say!
(Yes, sarcasm).
I think it's funny all the people leaving Twitter for Bluesky since Twitter's been clearly exposed for the shit hole it's always been. As if it's shittiness is new, and any other similar system won't be as bad.
It's not systems, it's people.
Systems can contribute to making things worse (or better), but they aren't the source.
From the article (different paragrpahs) " “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,” said commission spokesman Thomas Regnier. “This is not the case for Bluesky as of today. This is not followed.”
Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added.
"The commission cannot regulate Bluesky directly as it does not yet reach the threshold of more than 45mn monthly users in the EU to be designated a very large online platform. But Regnier said that if member states could identify a EU-based representative for the company, Brussels would “reach out to Bluesky”." "
The head line is nonsense. They are not in the EU and they don't have over 45 million users in the EU. So the rules in no way apply to them.
Do they only bark on someone small or they can stand up and put Twitter to the same standard?
Haha, they have been trying to tell Twitter to do things, with some law suits out.
Which is why members of the US government are now threatening to leave NATO if they continue to bully twitter, since Elon is in charge of a quarter of our government.
Yeah, I know that, I'm just all for taking one thing at a time, first thing being Twitter.
