So it seems they are being charged for altering their own algorithm. According to this article: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-opens-criminal-probe-into-x-for-algorithm-manipulation/

Magistrate Laure Beccuau said in a statement Friday that prosecutors had launched the probe on Wednesday and were looking into whether the social media giant broke French law by altering its algorithms and fraudulently extracting data from users.

"X stands accused of the ‘alteration of the functioning of an automated data processing system by an organized group’

This would be the interference charge.

‘fraudulent extraction of data from an automated data processing system by an organized group.’

This would be the illegal gathering of user data charge.

Also a thing to remember is that while the US has Section 230 which protects sites like Twitter (never gonna call it X) from being responsible for what their user post, that is not the case in countries outside the US. Other countries can hold Twitter responsible for things their users post on the website.

As for my interpretations it seems the French government seems to think that Twitter has modified their algorithms to influence public opinion to affect elections or for other purposes.

Well of course they don’t want to shut down their “humanitarian” foundation. What else are they going to use to bait Palestinians so they get gunned down?

Well now they know they won’t be safe unless they have an atomic bomb so of course they’re gunning for it.

Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is getting close to the bomb for like more than 10 years now. Iran was willing to negotiate on their nuclear armament but Mr. Deal maker fucked that up too and now they feel cornered. And you know what they say about cornered animals.

After all this time he still has no idea how tariffs work.

So, how long until these countries decide that having a US base just opens you up to this shit and decide to just expel them?

More Americans died of Covid than in any war the US was involved since it became a country, yes including the Civil War. The highest death estimate for the Civil War puts it around 750 000 deaths while around 1 200 000 died due to Covid. Most Americans don’t really care about the deaths of their fellow countrymen since, you know, they elected him again.

Fun Fact (I know it’s not that fun): The number of people that died of Covid approaches the total number of people that died in all conflicts the US was involved from 1775 to 2019: 1 300 000 war dead versus 1 200 000 Covid dead

Netanyahu has been insisting that Iran will have a nuclear weapon in months for a while now. Here’s a Jon Stewart clip talking about it: https://youtube.com/shorts/jlqXOwYfpdQ

But wait, if those other trucks cybers are registered in other EU countries, can’t they just drive through Denmark?

They can until they meet the first police officer who would stop them. You still have to abide by local laws when traveling through the EU. Just because Germany doesn’t have speed limits on the Autobahn doesn’t mean you can just ignore the speed limit on the Highway in Denmark.

I live in Denmark and the Cybertruck is not road legal here. I though that was the case for most of Europe?

Those kind of cars are not really popular in Europe as the streets here are narrow and don’t follow grid patterns. A lot of countries also already have regulations that limit what cars are road legal. That’s why you will not see a Cybertruck on the road in Europe, they have too many sharp edges and no crumple zones which makes them not road legal.

Palestine is not a recognized country in most of the western world, which in itself is a travesty, but you can probably infer a lot of bs from that.

That’s not even true.

As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members. It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.

75% of the world recognizes Palestine as a sovereign state.

The ship was nowhere near Gaza. They were off the coast of Egypt in International waters. Israel just kidnapped a bunch of people. Also they only released Greta? What about the other people?

Curious to see how the EU and other European countries will respond. One of the people on board is a EU PM.

Besides Greta the boat had people from many other European countries such as France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. There are also a Turk and a Brazilian on board.

I really hope the people on board are safe. They don’t deserve this.

Isn’t boarding and taking over a ship in international waters piracy?

War becomes a much more pressing issue when it’s in your backyard.

A lot of nudist resorts already allow children.

Well the EU is also trying to move away from US military suppliers since the US has become an unreliable partner. Imagine you buy US planes then Trump wakes up on the wrong side of the pillow one day and forbids export of spare parts for those planes. How you’re just fucked. Better to make your own or go for suppliers from another EU country.

Nah. Discord keeps the messages. Way too much accountability.

Well they are taxed, just not enough. That’s mostly because Ireland is borderline a tax heaven so US companies just base themselves there.
