    This seems like a pretty substance-less article that's entirely based around a flippant tweet from a German politician.

    I doubt they'd be interested in Germany anyway. There are much stronger privacy regulations there, and I don't know the details offhand but I'm also fairly sure that they have some strict-yet-vague laws requiring platforms to remove certain types of content (Edit: including NetzDG). All of that's pretty opposite to how Twitter operates, and I doubt they'd be looking to completely overhaul their policies just to be able to relocate to Germany.

      Granted though, Trump would probably have to do some serious damage for Twitter to consider leaving the country, the exec. order he signed is probably weak sauce.

    This is probably just geopolitical talk, but in all honesty, in the last 4 years a lot of shit that happened just seemed like talk. And then it happened.

    My guess is that Trump will sign an executive order that doesn't do anything. He's learned that he can get attention this way.

      Gotta keep cramming bullshit into that firehose. If he stops people might be able to stop, breathe, and focus too long on one of the insane sentences that has come out of his mouth.

    Isn’t it grand, living in a time when headers more often than not consist of words never before combined in sentences?
