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.

Your shot missed the target. I never had an account on any of those shitholes, either.

Gaza has the same amount of time to evacuate a million people as TikTok’s lawyers have to respond to Europe’s email.

I was about to say, the U.S. main news sources are filled with misinformation on this conflict. Please sue us.

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.
