CitizenVectron Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Bloomberg - Are you a robot? WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM Twitter Loses Entire Brussels Office With Regulators Looming Quote The Brussels office was a key hub for Twitter to engage with a deluge of European regulation, much of which has only recently come into force. The social media platform has long battled a perception it has failed to manage hate-speech and disinformation. No way Twitter (assuming it is still afloat) manages to maintain compliance with EU data laws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
