evidence: "The EU is working on a new law to seize and scrap your car if it doesn’t meet their criteria. It’s all part of their climate agenda. The state will decide how long you will be allowed to own your car," said a post on X and Telegram by Silvano Trotta, whose false claims have repeatedly been debunked by AFP’s fact-checking team. [...] However, the proposed regulation does not grant the EU the right to "seize and scrap your car if it doesn’t meet their criteria", as the social media post claimed. [...] Finally, the social media post also claimed that "if the cost of repairing your car exceeds the value of your car, then the EU will seize it and scrap it for you". It also alleged that "if your car has missed its regular EU checkup for two years, then it is considered to be ‘waste’ and they will scrap it".
