They slapped Elon with a $140M fine because his platform doesn't verify blue checks properly. Meanwhile, the same folks can't figure out who's actually crossing their borders.
Let that sink in. You get penalized for not verifying digital checkmarks, but mass migration flows without proper documentation? Totally fine.
The irony writes itself. This whole situation screams policy theater — tough on Big Tech, soft on everything else. Classic bureaucratic flex: punish what you can measure, ignore what you can't control.
When your priorities are this backwards, maybe the problem isn't the platform.

NGL, the EU's censorship standards are really laughable. They can regulate the blue check but can't control population movement. Who taught them this logic?

Nah, this is going too far. Is managing blue checks more strict than managing borders? The EU is really a textbook example of selective enforcement.

The EU is really something. They fined Elon 140 million just because of blue check verification, but their border management is no different... I'm truly amazed by this logic.

NGL, the EU's double standards are really impressive—regulating blue checkmarks up to $140M, but turning a blind eye to border management. That's hilarious.

The EU really knows how to play. Fined 140M for not verifying the blue check, then turned a blind eye as border chaos ensued. This is outrageous.

NGL, the EU is really a master of selective enforcement, nitpicking over blue checkmarks while their border management capabilities are a joke... It's so ironic, I'm speechless.
EUROPE'S REGULATORY PARADOX HITS DIFFERENT
