... considers? Just do it. Jesus.
Wowowow.. it's an EU agency... First they need to issue a communication that sets outs a vision for a roadmap to create a framework for an alliance that will create an agenda for the steering committee that will issue a request for a study of merits.
Then they can schedule to do something.
The kicker is that in any member state that'd be politics trying to bury something in procedure, while on the European level it's the only way to get anything done. Leave out a step and the thing just fizzles because noone even knows about it.
...not, I mean, quitting X. But in general.
The EU has been designed so that no one in any position can abuse his (or her) powers or at least make it extremely difficult to do so, with an added layer of mistrust between the states requiring even more checks and balances so it can lead to some ridiculously complicated processes since not much can be done without a majority consensus.
Deciding to leave twitter or not will lead to a barrage of comments from all the countries, so I'm not even surprised that even that decision has to be carefully managed.
I'm poking fun but for all it's flaws the EU has achieved a surprising amount of things.
You're basically just describing the flaws of democracies.
Yes, the EU can be slow to move on some points, but others they are the first. And they mostly get things right, because they use much time on thinking it through. And no, they're not right every time, but I believe they are more than others.
Firewall block Xitter, then flatten san fran with 30 nukes just to be sure
Didn't they move their operations to the city of Gridfailure, TX?
Flatten it too, can't be too cautious
They have a concept of quitting.
They first have to see our god-king's reaction then act appropriately.
yeah they can drop a pinned message on X for leaving and mentioned their next platform. But, I don't think Elon will Happy about that
What’s he gonna do about it?
Sue them?
