Elon Musk's X bans European Commission from making ads after €120m fine

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.
The world needs social sovereignty
The world needs to log off corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms and log on to a better way of being online. The world needs an open social web through the fediverse and Mastodon.

@Mastodon Yes and I assume it's still Twitter, not x.com. X.com is a video game

@Mastodon I keep mailing my EU representatives, Spanish political parties and media ( newspapers and TV), you can guess who answers and does what needs to be done.

@Mastodon Speaking about decentralization... Codeberg just removed my membership, with "solid" reason (lmao, there some rules ?)
Actually sent 1 single message suggesting people to keep conversations short.
Maybe they didnt like that I marked all messages as "spam"? ...

#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials@Mastodon tbh I'd much rather have people up in arms about the EUs decimation of privacy via Chat control.
When I compare the damage musk can do verses Chat control, musk is a drop in the bucket. -

As a refugee, I've seen how easily our voices are silenced. We need platforms that amplify, not censor.

#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials@Mastodon yup. All EU institutions, politicians, celebrities etc should be on Mastodon and not twitter etc as we cannot allow foreign entities to interefere with European communications. Ideally others should be there too but that is their decision.

THE USA IS A FACIAST STATE.
"The European Commission's fine isn't just an attack on X, it's an attack on all American tech platforms and the American people by foreign governments," Rubio wrote in a post on X.
"The days of censoring Americans online are over."
His remarks were reposted by Musk, who added "absolutely".
