📱 Tweet responses from Durov.🇪🇺 And again about blaming the European Union. Pavel Durov ✅ @durov The EU weaponizes people’s strong emotions about child protection to push mass surveillance and censorship. Their surveillance law proposals conveniently exempted EU officials from having their own messages scanned — and David’s post helps explain why. DHH ✅ @dhh A former high-ranking member of the same Social Democrats party that's behind this proposal was just awarded an early parliamentary pension after being convicted of owning thousands of CSA videos and images. Save The Children cover is bullshit. https://t.co/92RycUIaHl Daniel Vávra ⚔️✅ @DanielVavra FUCK CENSORSHIP. A sad day in the EU. Denmark is pushing us towards universal internet censorship under the guise of protecting children. This morning, Chat Control was passed in the European Council (despite opposition from the Czech Republic). Now, a resolution has been approved in the European Parliament calling for children under the age of 16 to be denied access to the internet. Pavel Durov ✅ @durov The EU imposes impossible rules so it can punish tech firms that refuse to silently censor free speech. We saw the same in France: a baseless “criminal investigation”, then intelligence services offering to help with it if @telegram quietly censored speech in Romania and Moldova. Elon Musk ✅ @elonmusk The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal. 𝕏 did not. Margrethe Vestager @vestager In our view @X doesn’t comply with the DSA in key transparency areas. It misleads users, fails to provide adequate ad repository and blocks access to data for researchers. It’s the first time we issue preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act. 👇https://t.co/WtJ65GPwQY Pavel Durov ✅ @durov The EU exclusively targets platforms that host inconvenient or dissenting speech (Telegram, X, TikTok…). Platforms that algorithmically silence people are left largely untouched, despite far more serious illegal content issues. PeterSweden ✅ @PeterSweden7 It's real simple. The EU fined X €120 million because this is where the mainstream media narrative gets exposed. Pavel Durov ✅ @durov @FrenchResponse@Parisianaes1 The EU’s DSA has nothing to do with the anti-tech criminal investigations launched by France. In fact, the DSA doesn’t even have a criminal dimension. France completely ignored the DSA process when addressing its requests to Telegram.
