EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year::The European Union is pulling its advertisements from Elon Musk’s X for now, citing an “alarming increase” in hate speech and disinformation on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
What exactly does the EU advertise?
I would imagine tourism and such
I dunno. Like, cheese? EU cheese?
Maybe baklava?
It’s a big place. I think. I dunno.
Sorry if I misunderstood. I consider the EU to be a government body.
I assume cheese and baklava manufacturers are allowed to advertise wherever they like.
Does this mean the EU is not allowing these cheese and baklava companies to advertise where they want?
The EU is advertising itself and its initiatives, like DiscoverEU and other programs. They want their programs to be seen and used
It’s wherE yoU live!
Why though
In September 2023, the EU Commission used unlawful micro-targeting on Twitter (X) to promote its heavily criticized chat control regulation.
Finally they quit giving my tax money to a billionaire Nazi to promote laws against my citizen rights.
I had the exact same question.
Their militaries spend a ton on ads
