Musk warned not to ‘amplify harmful content’ after riots
The TelegraphAt the start of the letter, Mr Breton said he was writing to Mr Musk in the context of “recent events in the United Kingdom” and Monday’s interview on X with Donald Trump. “As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction, we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU,” Mr Breton wrote. “Therefore, we are monitoring the potential risks in the EU associated with the dissemination of content that may incite violence, hate and racism in conjunction with major political – or societal – events around the world, including debates and interviews in the context of election.” ‘F--- your own face’ In response to the letter, Mr Musk replied with a meme saying: “Take a big step back and literally, f--- your own face!” Britain left the EU on January 31, 2020, and is not bound by the bloc’s rules on social media platforms. Mr Musk was branded “deeply irresponsible” by the UK Government after he claimed Britain was heading for civil war in his own social media post about the riots in UK cities last week after the stabbing of young children in Southport.
