Nobody elected you. You represent no one. You are a totalitarian institution and can’t even spell the words freedom of speech. We should not accept the fining of @X, but abolish the @EU_Commission.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA. We're holding X accountable for: 🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’ 🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository 🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers ↓

Why do we need the 1986 act if vaccines are so safe and effective? Why does a product need immunity if it doesn't cause harm? Why do products that have been on the market for decades, like the hepatitis B vaccine, still need immunity?

Thank you so much, Avatans ji, for our inspiring conversations this week. I learned so much about your community, and the shared sense of destiny between our Hindu and Jewish communities touched me deeply.
It was my privilege to present a copy of Gods in Exile to @DelphineGamburg, Deputy Consul General of Israel (Midwest) in the US. We were in Israel as part of delegation of Indian Americans from the Chicago area. @EladStr @usembassyjlm @indemtel @IndicaOrg

This is a good response from the US speaking up against the virtue signaling EU.
Rumors swirling that the EU commission will fine X hundreds of millions of dollars for not engaging in censorship. The EU should be supporting free speech not attacking American companies over garbage.

India is a sovereign nation, not a Chinese vassal like Canada.
Fuck you India for rolling out the red carpet to legitimize this brutal war criminal.

RT is TASS and Pravda of the Soviet time and PBS-NPR of the US.
RT is a propaganda channel, much like CNN & Fox News. Only less sophisticated.

We should've sent better journalists to Moscow. Not sure who though..
India Today: Can you talk about your meeting with Witkoff? Putin: I doubt it would interest you to hear about it as it lasted 5 hours. Frankly, even I grew weary of it. 5 hours is too much.
