A major legacy media outlet discussed the massive issues at stake as the sword of Damocles hangs over Elon Musk’s X in Europe. The writer couldn’t hide her bias against free speech advocates.
Politico noted the European Union’s apparent failure to crush Elon Musk’s X alongside other Big Tech platforms in an April 23 article headlined “The EU has fined Meta and Apple. What happened to X?” In her article, Politico tech reporter Eliza Gkritsi suggested that the EU’s European Commission might prefer forcing X to make changes instead of paying horrifying fines, since the former decision “could have a meaningful impact on users.” However, Gkritsi labelled opponents of the European Commission’s authoritarian push as “far right” while offering more neutral terms to proponents of radical EU laws.
