I don't like the idea of governments banning access to a website, unless its like CSAM.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 51 minutes ago

fuck CSAM, but where do we draw the line?

let laws regulate society and don't let government regulate directly.

for example, instead of banning access to X, outlaw the use of Social media in direct advertising. Make the EU market so hostile towards their business practices they can't legally operate.

then, it's "X" that refuses to operate within the laws we as a people have required, not just an over-reaching autocrat.

See it more like "preventing a website whose owner refuses to comply withEuropean law from operating in the EU".
