Do you think an European Citizens’ Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I’m sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

    Not a twitter/x or bluesky user, never really my type of preferred social media. So I wouldn’t miss it.

    However we must realize the most crucial factor about X in Europe, the fact that it’s a clearly compromised and biased network, highly subject to corruption, division and disinformation.

    Would the average person participate and support X if it was owned by a russian oligarch? And that russian propaganda was quite obvious within the social platform?

    Some would, sure, but the majority would mistrust it and be far more critical about potentially false information.

    So yeah, it should be categorically banned from EU nations. Not because I hate it, but because of the dangers of division it represents to our society. Specially when for those who like X-style platforms there’s already “non-regime” alternatives.
