Dear EU, please pull the plug of TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram... the world would be better without these shitholes. We were fine before these existed, and we will survive without them. Greetings from Portugal, EU

You can't solve this. Instead, schools should teach about misinformation and how to do a your own research the right way. Llts of people don't have this skill (or just a skill on how to use Internet).
Just switch them all off. The future is the Fediverse. Don't feed these greedy corporations that spread hate and are harming the world. Vote with your wallet. Abandon. Boycott. Etc. :-)
Disinformation can and does spread on the fediverse too. The only way to stop it is to teach people how to validate information.
Hahahahahaah in your dreams. Politicians can be bought.
With depression, from United Kingdom, EU wannabe
9 people think they won’t be fine without social media, now you see it’s a huge problem, lol. Poor souls…

Your shot missed the target. I never had an account on any of those shitholes, either.
Let's just ban what we don't like, good idea

There's a reason Fox News is not operating in EU.
Hope they can get a big fine, because these companies won't do anything about it, when its a small amount 🤏
They allowed misinformation and propaganda because the foreign money & connection is too good.

Wait. Wasn't Glenn battered to death?
Always wondering if their problems are with misinformation or with uncontrolled information.
Hard to find a pro Palestinian point of view on classic sources...
I am interested how is misinformation defined here?
