> The assumption EU bureaucrats and "EU citizens" make is that there are no limits to the punishment beatings executives will take to avoid bans in large geographical areas

I am sorry but what makes you believe that the EU citizen and bureaucrats really want twitter that much? It's not power, water, or food production? It's just a website... If twitter disappeared, the next day something would take its place in the EU.

If a foreign company don't want to accept the laws of a country, they can leave, that's fine. I mean, I am sure that the bureaucrats would like nothing more than having a EU company taking over.
