   It’s going to be REALLY interesting to see if Facebook’s new moderation policy meets its commitment under Article 35 of the DSA, which requires them to adapt moderation systems to mitigate a whole load of risks. Twitter was already being investigated for its changes to moderation.

     @ianb On the one hand, good, goddammit. On the other: they better clean up their act within about 12 or so years 😂

     @quinn It's OK, Trump's going to invade Greenland unless the EU gets rid of that pesky DSA.

     @DJGummikuh @ianb difficulty there is all of the small businesses which (Foolishly IMHO) depend on FB as a platform which would suffer.

     @bobthomson70 There's no evidence for that, except that manufactured by Facebook itself.

     @bobthomson70 Sure. Do they benefit from that pseudo web hosting lock-in? If suddenly Facebook were to be blocked for everyone (which of course won't happen, this is just us dreaming), it wouldn't take long for a competitor to absorb that function. Most businesses would just end up on Google Business or Yelp, I'm not saying it would be paradise. :)

     @nemobis around these parts countless businesses have zero online presence other than on FB. Detest it myself.

     @quinn Yes. Yes he did. I believe the word you may be looking for is “wanker”.
