EU and US turn up the heat on Elon Musk over Twitter

People do not understand that Twitter is a global business with footprints all around the world through various jurisdictions and regulations. What's okay here in the U.S. may not be the case in other countries. This is why Twitter hired so many people to comply with of all these rules.

Elon Musk is under renewed pressure from the US and EU over his ownership of Twitter, as regulators clamp down on the billionaire’s push to transform the social network into a freewheeling haven of free speech.

The European Commission on Wednesday threatened Musk with a ban unless Twitter abides by strict content moderation rules, as US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen indicated that Washington was reviewing his purchase of the social network.
