German Vice Chancellor Habeck Demands More Censorship of Elon Musk’s X After Trump Victory
Breitbart ^ | November 10 2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Posted on 11/10/2024 10:54:00 AM PST by knighthawk

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said that Europe must enact strict speech regulations on Elon Musk’s X platform to fight so-called “disinformation”.

Habeck, the likely candidate for chancellor for the leftist Green party in the upcoming elections, laid out his vision for Germany and Europe in a speech to the Neuhardenberg Castle Foundation on Saturday, including more internet censorship in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory.

“We cannot put democratic discourse in the hands of Elon Musk and Chinese software,” Habeck said, per Welt. Therefore, he argued, strict EU regulations must be applied to platforms such as TikTok and X.

Demands?!? Some foreign leader Demands? Habeck should consult with the Brits as to how that worked out some 245 years ago.

The way to counter “misinformation” is with even more information. Openness and transparency is the key. All sides need to present their case (as if in a court room) and then let the people decide what to believe.

Government censorship just breeds mistrust, especially when only State issued propaganda is allowed. And the unelected EuroTrash elites are experts in propaganda. They don’t want ANY dissenting voices.

There has been a proposal to stop US aid to Ukraine if the EU tries to pull censorship nonsense on US-based social media.

I can’t remember if Trump said this or someone from the campaign.

Green Party has always been backed by the Russians since the days of the USSR, so that would only play into Russia’s hands.
