makes sense. Why would the EU commission spend money on a platform that breaks the EU rules.

Much better to stay on Mastodon.

For those who can follow accounts, that's @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu for the Commission. Other EU institutions are also on Mastodon, such as the Court of Justice over at @Curia@curia.social-network.europa.eu.

I mean if Phony Stark is trying to get Twitter banned from the EU, this is definitely gonna increase the likelihood of that occurring

Eu-Comission, please grow a spine and blockshitter from the EU.

What a reasonable and mature response.

Now it's the time for EC to go fully to Fediverse. They are on Mastodon but does bad job informing public about that ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
