Elon Musk could take his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, off Europe to effectively make it inaccessible across the continent, Business Insider reported. Musk is reportedly considering the move in a bid to avoid a Digital Services Act, a regulation recently enacted by the European Commission.
The publication cited a person familiar with the company stating that Musk has discussed removing the availability of X from Europe entirely or blocking users in the European Union.
Does a precedent such as this exist?
Yes, there is a precedent.
