The UK expressed intent to summon #Musk over disinformation spread in the UK via #X. In response, Musk, as head of DOGE in the US government intends to counter-summon the UK, so he can instead accuse them of censorship. Three things are true. Musk has a business operating and earning money in UK that is subject to its laws. Second, Musk believes he bought the US Government. Third, Musk is using his money and quasi-government role to regulate speech abroad like China does.
Just pass our laws on privacy and internet safety, why are we summoning MUSK when that Lucida what ever her surname is, is the CEO send the summons to her instead
@zleap Musk has said that he will abide by the laws of countries in which Twitter operates. He’s not. It’s probably safe to assume he wouldn’t obey future privacy regulations where he has objections. He’s getting the summons, because he owns Twitter, and he the public face of Twitter product and policy.
What would happen if they summoned the CEO instead, and held her accountable ?
@zleap They absolutely could. It’s a contest of egos. He should probably go though. Twitter is wading into treacherous regulatory waters, and risks being lumped in with TikTok as a potential state propaganda apparatus.
