Brussels just slapped a major social platform with another €130M+ fine. The reason? Letting adults see content posted by other adults.

Call it what you want, but this isn't about transparency. This looks more like panic from regulators facing a platform that refuses to install government-approved censorship tools.

Withdraw these fines. Or just be honest—you're scared when people can actually speak freely.

This fine is really incredible, they just can't stand people telling the truth.

Judging from historical data, the EU's fine cycle is highly correlated with the regulatory pressure in 2017, but now the intensity has increased significantly, which is a signal worth quantifying. --- Here we go again, the EU is looking for endorsement for its inability to hold the situation, 130M seems to be very fierce, but it is just a fraction of the big platform, the real problem is - what they are afraid of is not transparency at all. --- Wait, I'll break it down with data:1. The amount of fines has increased year by year 2. Regulatory excuses are becoming more and more far-fetched 3. The actual effect? Almost zero... Isn't this a political show? --- NGL This reminds me of those "compliant" projects in the currency circle, which are ostensibly censored but actually play with words, and now traditional finance has also started this routine. --- The real problem is not the fines, but what they are defining as "free speech" – a long-term market variable. --- To put it bluntly, power is afraid of getting out of control, whether it is supervision or platform, it is just cutting leeks back and forth. --- From the perspective of the macro cycle, this wave of supervision may have just begun to bottom out, and there will be tossing in the future, so you should be mentally prepared.

The EU is cracking down again, hitting with a €130M fine just because adults can view adult content? That logic is unbelievable. Let’s be real, they just don’t want to see free voices on the platform.

The EU plays this game every day; to put it bluntly, it's just a trick to control public opinion. --- A 130M fine just because adults are viewing content made for adults? Ridiculous. The regulators are playing a blatant power game. --- They’re just afraid platforms won’t obediently install censorship tools, acting as if they really care about users. --- By this logic, every platform that allows people to speak should be fined? What kind of rule is that? --- Here we go again—always saying it’s for safety, but it’s really about controlling the narrative. --- If you don’t install government censorship tools, you get fined—this is really something else. --- Even content exchanges between adults have to be regulated; the EU is really going hard with this move.

This fine is just ridiculous. Brussels chickened out... afraid people might be able to speak freely.
