Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe
(ban-x-in.eu)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Everyone who signed the petition should close their Twitter accounts. And write their newspapers that they would cancel their subscriptions if the articles quoted or embedded tweets. I didn't sign any petition, and I'm already doing it. Well, sort of. I didn't have any Twitter account ro close.
Agree with the first part, but news ought to still quote tweets while it exists, otherwise they cannot denounce many of the wrong things going on in there. I quote the Guardian's email I received this week (even if I prefer quoting to embedding, as tweets get deleted, and embeds brings traffic to the site):
Maybe not quote, but embed. They should still quote noteworthy things on there, but don't force us to interact with the site
but that's what exactly embeds do. forcing you to interact with the site
Maybe I wasn't clear in my comment. I think it's fine if they quote what somebody tweeted. I don't think it's fine to have Twitter embeds in articles.
Come to think of it, I should write a uBlock origin custom rule
I see. wouldn't the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?
another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work

Closed it. Viva la France!
Given the former and future president of the USA's habit of announcing policies there, that seems unworkable.
You can describe something without quoting it
And you can quote something without embedding it.
