I don't understand this link with Twitter, maybe because it's in the news now. I never mentioned any specific company. The previous poster wanted to go on some Elon rant/tangent. My point was to invest in a platform that people actually use. If I'm the EU I want to have a platform where I can spread my message to as many people as possible. The EU is already spending huge amounts of money advertising on these platforms. Why not purchase a seat at the table.

Exactly, which is why I'm asking: when you said "buy a considerable stake in these American social media companies", which social-media companies did you mean?

I meant the concept of buying a social media company to gain access to a network/captive audience. I was not talking about a specific company.

If I was talking about a specific company I would have said "Why don't they buy a considerable stake in {insert social media company}"
