See it more like "preventing a website whose owner refuses to comply withEuropean law from operating in the EU".
What do you mean by operating in the EU? Twitter is run from America
And it's fine to continue to operate in the US.
But if it doesn't abide by EU laws then it can't operate in the EU.
America doesn't set the worlds laws
In practice, we could sever the connection between EU internet and the rest of the internet.
Maybe whitelist a set of ideas that are allowed to pass through the great eu firewall.
Or maybe, just maybe, fine companies that commit criminal acts.
There really is a fine line between turning into an authoritarian regime and doing basic police work, right?
