🇪🇺 European Commission quietly tried to censor free speech by offering 𝕏 a secret deal to avoid fines if they censored speech, which 𝕏 refused. According to 🇪🇺 EC 𝕏's blue checkmarks violate the Digital Services Act since it allows verification of people paying for it. The 🇪🇺 EC allegedly pressured 𝕏 to comply or face severe penalties, highlighting what Musk sees as corruption within the 🇪🇺 EU. He plans to challenge this legally.
