“It’s really hard to know what’s going to happen next. There are a lot of possibilities. I think the most likely possibility is that one of the existential threats hanging over Twitter right now is going to put it out of business within the year. But if it doesn’t, then there’s going to be some kind of give and take on this. In order to keep operating, especially next year when the European Union’s Digital Services Act becomes law, Twitter is going to have to demonstrate content moderation capabilities, and if it can’t demonstrate them then it faces a potential ban in Europe. We’re in this kind of weird, crazy “Free For All” right now, and it’s not clear to me where all the dust is going to settle exactly.”
