You are right about Sri Lanka. However, China already failed in Greenland, and in Nordic countries in general.

Through Denmark, Greenland is already part of NATO.

Transparency based on Trump's lies? That's laughable!

I just checked. As it is usually possible to call emergency numbers without SIM card, mobile networks can identify a phone with its IMEI number, and communicate with it. So it should be possible to block a phone without SIM card.

More ridiculous lies from Trump. And , of course, his gullible fans believe him!

That summmarizes well the issues at stake and stresses the ignorance shown in some comments in this thread. Under EU laws, Musk (or anyone) is free to make any comment he wants (with the usual restrictions such as inciting violence, terrorism, etc...). What is forbidden is algorithmic manipulation. If X algorithms artificially amplify the diffusion of messages promoting a particular party, it will be severly sanctioned and will cost a lot of money. Of course Musk perfectly knows that, so I doubt it will happen.

As expected, and barrage of MAGA posts aiming at distracting attention from the impact of climate change.... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ewe4p9128o

It doesn't seem it will have much impact, according to experts, I.e.: "LSU professor David Dismukes, an energy sector economist, said he expects nothing of real significance to come out of Biden’s decision. Most of the crude oil extracted in the U.S. comes from the Permian Basin, a vast area spanning western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Only about 15% comes from offshore drilling in federal waters, and that is overwhelmingly concentrated in the western and central Gulf of Mexico, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. “It’d take decades to get the eastern [Gulf of Mexico] and Atlantic and parts of Alaska into position for drilling, particularly anything remotely like what we see in the central and western [Gulf of Mexico],” Dismukes said. Restricting areas from future development is not good for long-term resource availability, Dismukes said, adding that he doesn’t see Biden’s new restrictions being a big negative."

You really believe that Trump is telling the truth?

If it was right outside the store they may have used Wi-Fi in the store to block them.

Didn't they get that lesson already?

Where does he get this 5% number from? Oh, I know.... 😆

That's business, Meta's Threads has siphoned X users and is already second behind X. This has been prtly caused by liberal users fleeing X after Musk's public positions. In order to become first, https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/threads-twitter-clone-reaches-300-million-users/735724/ It now needs to attract more RW users. Of course, there is a risk to loose some liberal users but Musk will remain repellent for them and BlueSky is too small and not associated with other networks such as Facebook or *Instagram.

In the ridiculous MAGA alternate universe only! 🤣

That's strange. I don't think see how the network can identify it without a phone number and sim card.

Prove what? I acknowledge the result of the election. Unlike you and other MAGAs, I am able to accept reality. I'm not going to evoke ridiculous conspiracy theories for years because I don't like the result of an election.

Lame and pathetic deflection! P.S As I posted several times I also disagree with Hunter's pardon.

Lame and pathetic whataboutism! 😆

Not to mention the fact that most of them left the Capitol without being arrested and searched. Most of those who got convicted have been identified later, in particular thanks to videos the dumbasses posted themselves on SM.

Let's be positive. There were a few good moments... 😆

The fact that they failed doesn't obliterate the fact that the intent was to steal the election. It's like arguing that a bank robber who failed in his attempt should be exonerated.

Without sim card?

My point is that it's an attempt to substantiate the imaginary voter fraud argument. Having said that, I don't understand why there isn't a mandatory national ID card system in the U.S, as in most countries. That would make everything more simple.

If not valid, it's not a proof!

Drill baby drill is just a slogan for the gullible. 🙂 I doubt that oil companies are willing to invest in drilling, considering the declining price trend of energy. If Saudi Arabia increases its production as anticipated, it will make a significant number of U.S. production sites unprofitable (in particular shale oil). https://nationalinterest.org/feature/saudi-arabia-will-eventually-have-increase-oil-production-214052
