Elon Musk's X refuses to assist French prosecutors, says probe serves a political agenda

[candle86]

So I guess you are saying fElon does not have to obey the law, courts, or any other authority and you are advocating for Anarchy? In other words, fElon can do anything he damn well pleases? Good luck with that.

No what he should do is simply close the office in France and give them the middle finger that is the correct response here. and I mean that entirely just completely just shut out the fridge shut the government officials accounts down and ban the French government from using x that sense of way more powerful message inform them they're no longer welcome on the platform The French government is persona non grata.

Oh please please, I do hope they shut their Paris office, less nazi propaganda is only good. Maybe gtfo from eu while we having this nice dream. Not gonna happen though, unless court will take care of those propaganda tubes. And that is exactly what is happening.

Oh look accusing someone of being a nazi, yall on the left are so predictable its not even funny. Guess what freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and france has no right to regulate anyones speech, though the way the behave we should have joined the Central powers in WW1 and helped the Kaiser capture paris instead.

What you are defining is not "free speech", rather you are defining "regulated speech" or "privileged speech". It's a common fault many Europeans make when trying to claim they have free speech comparable to Americas.

When your government determines what you can or cannot say, you do not have free speech either. That is what Twitter was doing before Musk bought it, and there were many a rich guy who were making decisions on what was allowed on twitter. You also ignore that the reason Musk, and many others, were banned on twitter was because a rich guy disagreed with them on whatever subject they may have cared about.

Hypocrisy isnt a good look.

You guys need to get your Musk Derangement Syndrome checked out. When it was social media denying the Chinese or the Russian access to data, you had no issue and even cheered on their actions.

Fighting government overreach is a good thing, actually.

Thank you! you are 100%correct.
Further, anyone in the "billionaire and millionaire" circles gives zero f's about anyone but themselves(and their owners).

Always ready to argue in favor of being unable to see the forest through the trees. Pretty predictable at this point.

Your first response in an argument is to lay an insult... "pretty predictable..." but not a response to the argument.

 

[Madethedevilcry]

I'm sure anything I could say would be promptly dismissed by you with some petty phrasing like "Musk derrangment syndrom". You're not a serious person, you're just noise. There is no point in trying to debate you on anything. You lack the ability to process information without an extreme bias.

extreme bias is what creates a good discussion. you know this, right?

At the end of the day if they don't comply with the government ban and block them from operating in the country. Musk or anyone else can't operate in a country and thumb their noses as the laws rules and regulations, courts while doing business in that country.

He should be careful if it escalates and the file a contempt warrant, Musk won't be able to step a foot in any EU country which would be a bigger blow to his other companies.

agreed. but, honestly "stepping foot..." lately is stepping in shite.

really? Are you guessing what a commenter thinks in order to insult his thoughts?

France is a terrorist state, we’ve know this for years, it will only get worse. The EU is doomed by 2035.

Almost correct. EU is doomed already swirling the bowl. The drain at the bottom of is obviously unable to accommodate a fast flush.

It's not my job to debate people who have zero interest in an honest discussion to your satisfaction.

I don't get why we're even arguing about this... Musk is a Nazi w***er and X serves as his personal bullhorn. If they break the law, take them down.

PS: There is no Musk derangement syndrome. The guy did a Sieg Heil salute in front of the entire world during one of the most televized events in the world, and then he did a second one for good measure to make sure nobody missed or misinterpreted it.

Anarchy over some words. Hilarious. The left literally cannot function without an authoritarian government. What offends some doesn't offend others, so placing an offence on offending someone is literally the stupidest thing in existence.

Political bias doesn't matter it's called free speech, 99% of all media is left leaning bias trash I get that your sides upset you don't control the complete narrative but you have no right to tell him what he can and can't have on the platform he owns and if the French government dislikes it then as I said he should kick the French government off while actively mocking them.

Actually he did it that " " salute has been examined ad nauseam by actual experts on the Nazi regime and it does not actually meet the requirements for the Nazi salute at all.

So many of you, on both sides of the argument, haven't a clue what this is all about. Its not about free speech in its truest sense. The problem is how X uses its algorhythms to prioritise specific points of view. It often feeds biased or totally bogus information to those who can't think for themselves. I think Kirby1 tried to point this out above before the discussion went off on a tangent.

no we are aware, but I don't see you demanding Reddit be unbiased

You're joking, right? That's your explanation? He's bad at the Nazi salute, so there's no way he was doing that... Maybe that's why he tried it a second time.

Combine the salute with what he's done to and continues to do on Twitter, and it pretty much ads up: Elon Musk is a Nazi sympathizer.

Now, one could argue his affiliation is not ideological, but who cares? Whether he adheres to the tenets or simply panders to those who adhere in exchange for their adulation, the result is the same.
