Are you aware that china is not in EU?

"just following the rules" is the same argument made to justify censorship in China as it is in the EU.

  • Yes? It’s not exactly a surprise that you are expected to follow the laws where you do business. This doesn’t mean those laws are inherently good or bad, that’s a judgement which requires analysis to make and businesses quite reasonably might choose not to stay in a market based on that decision as Google did with China.

  • The EU rules that X was asked to comply to were not about censorship. There are plenty of articles released at that time that explain why.
