To collect the evidences for the fine case EU bureaucrat need just to log in into his not long ago beloved Twitter account. Musk thought they are so lazy to do that or what? Come on.
Listen, every single centralized social network business price is solely depend on the number of users. Because users are not their clients, but assets, like cattle of machinery.
So, forcing strangers to register for just viewing content is an easiest way to rise the market price of social network asset. Unfortunately, sheeple will easily fall to that. That is a bad thing.
In the past there was excellent addons for browsers like BugMeNot, that allowed to view paywalled or loginwalled content without registering using shared database of logins/passwords for huge amount of sites from scientific journals to facebook. But once, all that things just disappeared and for completely unknown reason sharing fake account credentials for reddit or facebook become something unwelcomed and wrong thing to do. BugMeNot was sold out and become absolutely useless because they immidiately prohibited sharing credentials for any paid and social network services.
So, from the other side, in the absense of BugMeNot-like services, that social networks will loose part of possible target audience, so financing of bots and trolls will fall noticeably. That is a good thing.
Also keep in mind Musk's ultimate desire for the "X" everything app. Gotta get people on the grid to shepherd them into the system. Once enough people do it willingly it will be all the more simple to get the unwilling (like with the vaxxes although it seems they had overestimated the demand, this isn't on as urgent of a timetable however)
