Damn, yet another downside of the UK leaving the EU. Hopefully they'll include us as well.

Optimising for low cost, simplicity of operations, low legal complexity and not for high income. Three out of four isn't bad, I suppose, but personally speaking I'm really quite fond of income.

I wonder what share of Twitter's income came from the EU.

I really hope so. I spend far too much time on there.

Good riddance of a far-right pro-nazi bar

Frankly, I hope he does. The quicker Twitter loses mainstream relevance the better.

EU should strongly consider allocating some funds to speed the process up.

Awesome - now the rest of the world please as well.

The reddit-tier answers here are downright scary. Have you considered not using a service if you dislike it so much? You don't have to drag the rest of us with you.

You actually find the service meaningful and useful - go figure - when I go on it , it serves me up a pile of excrement.

I would not mourn the demise of that cesspool.

I don't use it. But that doesn't mean that I'm not affected by the harm it causes, and the hatred and misinformation that it spreads among people.

I believe that the overall impact that Twitter has is a negative one, so if they withdraw from Europe then (to me), that would be a positive thing and something to celebrate.

I'm not calling for Twitter should be banned, I'm saying that if it chooses to block access to European user then I think that's a good thing, especially if the reason that they're doing that is their refusal to follow EU law. In exactly the same way that I wouldn't shed any tears if Stormfront decided to block access to Europe.
