The head of the European Parliament summoned an American businessman to give an explanation about the policy of his social network.
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Mezola, invited the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, for a frank public conversation. Politico reports.
“Twitter plays a central role in the democratic life of the European Union and provides an opportunity for civic discourse. Twitter should not inadvertently become a catalyst for hatred, election interference and disinformation,” he wrote.
At the same time, Roberta Metzola is convinced that the well-known businessman will accept the invitation.
It was noted that such a move was made after a series of messy and controversial steps. For example, mass layoffs, suspensions of journalists and changes in the policies of platforms caused alarm in Europe. The platform also combats disinformation and hateful content.
In addition, European Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeted on Monday that “platforms cannot change policy all the time.”
It was previously reported that Elon Musk should step down as the head of the recently acquired social network Twitter.
Elon Musk said in which case they will block Twitter accounts
