The Law<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> will mean Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> will have to have a mechanism for users to flag illegal content, Act upon notifications " expeditiously" and put in measures to address The spread of disinformation.
On Friday, AFP news agency quoted an European Commission<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> official as saying: " If (Elon Musk<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> ) doesn't take The Code<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> seriously, then it's better that he quits. "
