    change.org isn’t going to do much, and the EU already has an ongoing lawsuit with Twitter regarding its disinformation promotion.

    https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_6709

    It could be argued that the EU prosecutors should speed things up, though.

      I am afraid they already did:

      Commission concludes that online social networking service of X should not be designated under the Digital Markets Act – (October 2024) Please see the comment by @HK65@sopuli.xyz, I am mistaken here.

      I would have loved to see the initiators to go the official way for the petition as I agree that change.org won’t change much. Here we go: https://commission.europa.eu/get-involved/engage-eu-policymaking/petition-eu_en

        The DMA has no bearing on disinfo, it’s about access, like mandating a public API to federate with or banning self-preferencing with other products.

        The disinfo thing is regulated by the DSA - Digital Services Act, and it very much applies to Twitter.
