And who is the actual arbiter who decides what is information and what is disinformation?

That smacks of the question "What is porn and what is not porn?"

We should all be free to choose for ourselves.

It's about enforcing existing platform regulating legislation:

'''Breton posted back: “You are well aware of your users’ — and authorities’— reports on fake content and glorification of violence. Up to you to demonstrate that you walk the talk. My team remains at your disposal to ensure DSA compliance, which the EU will continue to enforce rigorously.” '''

Breton is said to be eyeing Von Der Leyen's job in next year's EU election and clearly he thinks that hitting Musk is a good move towards that aim. Don't take everything at face value.

There are objective truths in the world. They are called facts.

You are falling into the trap.

The narrative is slowing shifting the goalposts, with intent, to convince people the only correct things to say and publish are 'facts', the more 'official' the better.

Brussels knows will tell you.

The EU is going down the rabbit hole and this will thus get worse...

Letting everyone “choose for themselves” “what is and isn’t disinformation” is really not an argument that stands up to even the most gentle questioning.
