Well that just begs the question what happens if twitter doesn't pay these fines. Will they build a great firewall then?
Given that twitter has a large presence in EU, leaving doesn't seem viable so they will probably pay the fine.
Not sure how that is supposed to be undemocratic.
Putting on my cynical hat, I could imagine powerful interests using this opportunity to consolidate their power and silence their opposition under the guide of "prevention mis/dis/malinformation" - it's a slippery slope which is easy to abuse if not careful in our approach. This is what I meant by "so much for democracy". I very much hope I'm wrong :)
A powerful monopoly can do the same thing, and you don’t get to vote on their board. Why is that any less dangerous?
Yikes... so much for democracy.
