People here all complain about social American social media companies defying the law when they refuse to cooperate with EU censorship, then they complain about them not defying the law with Saudi censorship, it's a double standard.

Yes of course, clearly the EU and Saudia Arabia both have equal censorship initiatives and human rights track records.

Apologies for the sarcasm. But I think it’d be helpful for you to expand a little on what you mean by EU “censorship” in this case.

Could be goomba fallacy, but listening to people irl, maybe not.
It's only a double standard if both scenarios you describe are comparable.

That "if" is incredibly shaky IMHO.

What EU censorship? The RT ban?
