“deserts”
That wording in this context implies the German army owed loyalty to X.Yes it’s a bit weird isn’t it.
Politico seems to be treading more and more into sensationalist titles. Disappointing…
Politico is owned by the German Axel Springer publishing corporation, which runs a bunch of right wing papers, mostly tabloids, like the infamous Bild.
Yeah I’m aware of that. Axel Springer runs the paper that published the infamous Musk op-ed.
Generally though (despite an obvious current western neoliberal order bias) Politico has been decent in the past (outside of opinion pieces), as a sort of basic way to get general facts, but I fear their quality is declining. I’m personally gradually replacing them with EURACTIV and RFI in my reading habits.
The creator of the article: “why wasn’t it France?!!”
It’s not “Berlin vs. Musk”, it’s “tech bros vs. regulation” - they support Trump, want to destabilize the EU, all so they can continue their exploitative businesses.
See you in the fediverse
Rather than move to Bluesky, a favored alternative to Musk’s X for many, the defense ministry said it will continue to stream videos and content on Instagram, YouTube and through a WhatsApp channel instead.
face meet palm
Ditto.
“This far right Us oligarch is so problematic, let’s do buisness with this other far right Us oligarch instead” 🤦
they should have said “Pixelfed, Peertube and through a Matrix server instead”… Bad Move to keep relying on US social media instead of soverign ones, veeery bad move… ><
Well, bad move: won’t see them anymore
Let’s be honest, you weren’t going to follow them anyway.
And neither was I.
