When I studied the EU in the early 2000s, it was renowned for being a peace project that promoted transparency, democracy & good governance. Terms like "civilian power", "ethical power" and "normative power" were used to describe its uniqueness. Those days are long gone...
The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.
The other platforms accepted that deal.
𝕏 did not.
