Earlier today, Emmanuel Macron and Elon Musk, during the French President's visit to the US, held a meeting against the backdrop of the online "blue bird".
Macron received an assurance from the new owner of Twitter that, despite recent changes, the social networking platform will continue to be subject to European regulations, without undermining freedom of speech, excluding violent and extremist content and with a view to protecting children on the Internet.
The French president broke the news of the meeting with the billionaire tech mogul via Twitter posts, noting that they had a clear and honest discussion regarding the operation of the platform within European borders.
In particular, Musk assured Macron that the protection of freedom of speech is in "good hands", while content posted by users is subject to strict control, preventing the spread of violent and extremist messages on the Internet.
In addition, they agreed to improve actions on the digital platform relating to child protection. As he wrote: "Elon Musk committed to this today. Let's do more to protect our children online!"
