I briefly misread your comment as 'staples fingers' and agreed that I'd do it too if results were guaranteed.
Rivets fingers: Ouch, my fucking fingers!
For any french reading this, what are the chances elon musk will actually face any consequences as an outcome of this?
All they can do is levy fines and tell their ISPs to block Twitter.
I think even if they tell their ISPs to block twitter, it will be a huge step.
True, but given the population of France, all it would do it hurt Musk's ego.
Although after typing that out, I realized that's an actual punishment for him.
I'll sharpen the guillotine. Who will bring the baguettes, and who volunteers to get the celebration wine?
US alisnt going to do shit. Glad someone is doing something.
Oh no how unfortunate.
