Elon Musk is turning Twitter into a lawless space.
First he had a vote on whether Donald Trump should return to the short message service, then on a "general amnesty" for blocked accounts.
Only a fraction of the users took part in the surveys – when asked about the amnesty, three out of almost 240 million users.
But that doesn't stop Musk from claiming "the people" spoke.
So there is no stopping hate, hate speech, troll and bot attacks.
Meanwhile, the EU and the federal government believe that Twitter has the right to respect the law in the European Union.
Twitter doesn't care about any of that
If we follow the lawyer Chan-Jo Jun, this is not the case.
He represents the Baden-Württemberg anti-Semitism commissioner Michael Blume before the Frankfurt Regional Court against Twitter.
The group, according to the accusation, did not delete 43 derogatory tweets in time, as stipulated by the Network Enforcement Act.
Attorney Chan-Jo Jun is worried about an excerpt from Musk's statement of defense.
As a result, Twitter International not only says that it does not have to comply with the German Network Enforcement Act because it violates the "country of origin principle".
The group also claims that the Federal Republic of Germany has assured “that the Federal Office of Justice will not order any measures against Twitter International until a final decision” in another procedure before the Cologne Administrative Court.
Chan-Jo Jun speaks of a "deal" that Twitter made with the Federal Office and Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann.
There is no such thing, the ministry replied at the request of the editorial network Germany and the "Spiegel".
Rather, it is a “standstill commitment” that was given to the Cologne Administrative Court.
In plain language this means: We have a law, but no one to enforce it.
All wheels stand still when Twitter wants it.
The same goes for Meta/Facebook and Google.
The EU thinks it will change that with its new digital laws.
But that's wishful thinking.
