Hey Elon, you are next. The EU has outlined how Twitter has been violating a host of Digital Services Act laws. You have told the EU basically to F-off.
Well the EU is no longer putting up with social media platforms used to peddle hate & disinformation and violate their laws. I hope you don't have any plans to fly to Europe in the future because you will also be put in handcuffs.

executives of large social media applications criminally responsible for their direct refusal to moderate content
What happens in the case of decentralized & peer-to-peer messaging apps?
For Telegram, Durov refused to cooperate with law enforcement to provide information about criminals using the application. He also refused to take any measures to stop the platform from being used for criminal activity. This arrest is the obvious end result. It's not like the governments did not warn Durov in advance; his arrest should not be a surprise.
France and the EU has strict laws now which makes executives of large social media applications criminally responsible for their direct refusal to moderate content on their sites which allows criminal activity on the platform including terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering, and child abuse content. All of this is fully outlined in French law and EU Digital Services Act laws.
Elon Musk is probably shitting a brick and will be up next if he is foolish enough to fly to Europe.
