With Trump silenced, world leaders are scared of the awesome power of big tech, and Mexico’s president is now forming a coalition to respond.
FTA:MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president vowed Thursday to lead an international effort to combat what he considers censorship by social media companies that have blocked or suspended the accounts of U.S. President Donald Trump.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration is reaching out to other government to form a common front on the issue.
“I can tell you that at the first G20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue,” López Obrador said. “Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression.”
“How can a company act as if it was all powerful, omnipotent, as a sort of Spanish Inquisition on what is expressed?” he asked.
Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico is starting to build an international campaign around the issue.
“Given that Mexico, through our president, has spoken out, we immediately made contact with others who think the same,” Ebrard said, noting they had heard from officials in France, Germany, the European Union, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
“The president’s orders are to make contact with all of them, share this concern and work on coming up with a joint proposal,” Ebrard said. “We will see what is proposed.”
That’s amazing, all these socialist and even the corrupt countries see what is happening here so clearly.
What are they afraid will happen to them?
Maybe some of these world leaders are not quite as interested in one world government as big tech would want us to believe. Maybe these world leaders have realized that it will be big tech in charge of everything, not the utopian leaders that they had been thinking about before. Also, if big tech could do this to President Trump, the President of the United States, just think what they can do to the president of a much smaller, less powerful country.
He has a better grasp of our First Amendment than the Dims do.
