“Twitter will have to implement transparent user policies, significantly reinforce content moderation and protect freedom of speech, tackle disinformation with resolve, and limit targeted advertising,” European Union commissioner Thierry Breton said.
A top European Union commissioner told Elon Musk that there was “huge work ahead” so Twitter Inc. complies with the bloc’s new law aimed at greater content moderation and against disinformation on social media.
“I am pleased to hear that he has read it carefully and considers it as a sensible approach to implement on a worldwide basis,” Breton said in the post. Musk did not directly reply to the commissioner, but to another user said that “Twitter 2.0” would be “far more” transparent. It also calls for billions in fines for those not in compliance after a 15-month grace period to comply, although very large companies will have to get into compliance as soon as the first half of 2023.
