Twitter will be banned from the European Union in case of non-compliance with its rules, says French minister. Jean-Noël Barrot also worried about a future European regulation "excessive" in artificial intelligence.

This statement comes after Twitter's official release of the EU's code of practice against online disinformation, announced Saturday by European Commissioner for Industry Thierry Breton. The latter had recalled in a message on Twitter that the social network, led by American billionaire Elon Musk, remained legally subject to compliance with European rules.
