>Where did I mention Elon?

If EU would buy a big share of Titter it gives money to Elon, if from FB you give the money to Mark etc.

You are implying that is pointless me to have a person website because I will not succeed to be more popular the FB or Twitter. The joke is on you I have a personal website and I run a blog and some static pages. EU is not attempting to defeat Twitter,

It makes sense (if your logic circuits work) that you should have a backup communication method because

1 Twitter or FB because they might block you and your then need to fight with AI bots to unblock your stuff

2 there might be users that do not use Twitter or FB

3 Twitter and FB might not respect user privacy so it is imporal to publish only on those

I never mentioned Elon or the implications of buying twitter, you went off on that tangent.

> You are implying that is pointless me to have a person website because I will not succeed to be more popular the FB or Twitter. The joke is on you I have a personal website and I run a blog and some static pages. EU is not attempting to defeat Twitter

Again never said that.

Backup communication methods don't work if no ones uses them do they?

> 1 Twitter or FB because they might block you and your then need to fight with AI bots to unblock your stuff

Normally when you have a controlling stake in a company you can have an input in how it operates.

> 2 there might be users that do not use Twitter or FB

There's also people who don't use the internet? what's your point?

>3 Twitter and FB might not respect user privacy so it is imporal to publish only on those

EU agencies already post on Facebook and Twitter, what's your point ?

My point is that it makes sense EU agencies post on many medias and it makes no sense to limit to only one and force the citizens to make accounts on Twitter, this days you are forced to login to read it. What if I have no account or maybe an AI blocked me, I can't read some useful information.
