EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year::The European Union is pulling its advertisements from Elon Musk’s X for now, citing an “alarming increase” in hate speech and disinformation on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

I feel like the EU is one of the few forces of good in the world these days.

It is not. But it has been doing some right things when it comes to privacy protection and so on.

Still, Trump's border wall and caged children are merely cute compared to the shit going on at the borders of the EU.

I disagree. The EU is one of the best things that ever happened to us Europeans, who knows, we might be fighting another war if history went different.

Politically, the EU spins around between based decisions and crap like chat surveillance, but over all, it has been a major contributor to the high standard of life in Europe, I'm convinced of this.

What kind of things should I think of?

Not for long we all get very right to fascist governments the next year's and things will go south. Germany with a CDU/AFD coalition, Le pen in France, if those two happen I see a dark future ahead, but hey climate change will bite us in the ass anyway. Why not go under under fascist leadership...

We're not very good at learning from the past, are we?
