This week, the unelected, tyrannical European Commission issued notice of a 120 Million Euro Fine against Elon Musk and the free-speech platform X (formerly known as Twitter). His wrongdoing? Failure to respond to European notices to CENSOR posts issued by European members that ran afoul of the Digital Services Act covering all online speech. https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1996958605015158830?s=20 …
