Here's a wild contradiction: X gets hit with a €120 million fine for selling verification badges. Meta does the exact same thing. Crickets.

The official excuse? "Misleading users about verification status."

But let's be honest—this isn't about consumer protection. It's about who's willing to play ball with content moderation demands. One platform pushes back on censorship. The other quietly complies. Guess which one gets the regulatory hammer?

Same business model. Different treatment. The pattern isn't subtle anymore.

Damn, the double standards are so obvious, it's incredible. Why is Meta fine? That's hilarious. This rule isn't fair to anyone. Just because someone dared to challenge regulation? That's ridiculous. The same thing, but the fate is just different.

Basically, it's selective enforcement—X isn't obedient enough. As long as Meta cooperates willingly, there won't be any issues.

Both platforms use the same tactics, selective enforcement is truly remarkable.

Double standards are so obvious, the EU is just messing around This is called selective enforcement, it's really laughable meta: I also sell certifications, why is no one regulating this?
