(Reuters) - Emmanuel Macron said he had a "clear and honest" discussion with Twitter owner Elon Musk about the social media platform's content moderation policies, just a day after the French president had flagged his concerns on the issue.
"Transparent user policies, significant reinforcement of content moderation and protection of freedom of speech: efforts have to be made by Twitter to comply with European regulations," Macron said in a tweet after his meeting with Musk on Friday afternoon.
On Thursday, Macron - on a visit to the United States - said in an interview with television show Good Morning America that he believed there were "responsibilities and limits" to free speech.
Researchers have reported a surge in hate speech on the social media platform after free speech advocate Musk announced an amnesty for accounts suspended under the company's previous leadership that had not broken the law or engaged in "egregious spam."

 
This is likely why Elon Musk suspended Kanye. He knows he will lose huge revenue if Europe fines Twitter for spreading hate speech.

He vowed to allow anything that is not illegal in a court to be posted on Twitter. but the reality hit him and his cultist fans like a ton of bricks.

READ: I had no problem with Twitter 1.0 systematically censoring and shadow banning overwhelmingly conservative people and opinions. But I am going to berate Twitter 2.0 for banning 1 person.

Increase in hate speech has nothing to do with your lie about "one person banned" being the reason Macron warned your beloved richest man in the world.

EU want more banning. Not less. Be smart.

Yeah except that is laughably false.
When your definition of "hate speech" is as wide as the Pacific ocean... sure you can claim anything you want.

Europe is not America. What are you going to do about it?

Where did I say I wanted to do anything?
What I see is my original point.
You and all the other leftist were all PERFECTLY okay with Twitter 1.0 censoring out 100,000s of post a day, shadow banning people, employing well over 1000 employees whose only job was to censor and ban content... now that Musk is ending all of this one-sided censoring and opens up Twitter 2.0 to dramatically increase free speech - you all now hate Musk. Because you never wanted free speech to begin with.

What do you mean by censored? Did you go through all 100,000? Did they violate European law?

Load of crock. First of all. Musk can do whatever he wants to twitter, if he wants to make it a place were the only content is trolling, racism, and porn that is his right. Just like it is my right to not want to be a part of such a place.

However, Twitter makes its money by generating add revenue. I suspect to most people a place like that will be less attractive. Making Twitter less attractive to add companies.

To use an old Republican trope, the free market will take care of it.

In a way this is a micro cosmos of this whole debate. People on the right claim to be for free speech, but if that free speech causes people to react negatively the charge is made that the left doesn't want free speech.

I want everybody to have free speech with the caveat that I have the right to distance myself from your speech if I don't like it.

You want to yell that I'm an asshole? Fine yell that. But don't tell me I have to accept it or keep on associating with you.

But it isn't a free market ... when governments can ban, fine, or tax, any product or service that they believe challenge their authority.

The government has always had that right. If you want to do business in a country it follows you have to adhere to the rules in that country. It's no different in France than it is in the US.

There is no surge in hate speech on Twitter. That is a lie that was debunked.

Don't you have some balls to fondle in the FBI basement junior agent?
