EU warns Elon Musk that Twitter must play by its tough new rules
Euronews says Twitter will have to “adapt completely to European rules” whatever Elon Musk’s intentions regarding freedom of speech, the European Commission warned on Tuesday.

“Whether on online harassment, the sale of counterfeit products… child pornography, or calls for acts of terrorism… Twitter will have to adapt to our European regulations which do not exist in the United States,” EU commissioner Thierry Breton told AFP.
