    And nothing of value was lost. In fact, it might shield more European users from FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

      What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it’s not even useful for that anymore.

    Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).
