[1/2] Twitter corporate headquarters building is seen in downtown San Francisco, California, U.S. November 21, 2022. Twitter and the EU did not immediately respond to requests for comment. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government has previously said it was monitoring developments at the social media company with growing concern. German regulators are already pushing government institutions to stop posting announcements exclusively to privately-held platforms, touting alternatives like the fledgling decentralised social media network Mastodon.
