Macron is really pissed off about the US Big Tech dictators. This is the second time he has lashed out about it. And the guy wasn't even particularly fond of President Trump after President Trump's first two years. Its the principle of it. Hey Macron, just ban the US Big Tech companies in France and be done with it. If not, issue them very large, crippling fines every time they censor free speech of one political party even while promoting another party lile they did in the US.

When you step back and view this from far above it should frighten all of us that the European leftists are terrified of American leftists.

Wow. Just wow.

Actually, it sounds like he’s ok with censorship, he just wants government to do it and not Twitter.

A little late to make a difference. This is just grandstanding.

Wow a true socialist is warning of censorship. That just tells you how bad it is. Macron hasn’t crossed over to communism yet like our president has.

French President Macron slams Big Tech’s censorship of President Trump

So Macron, ban 'em from the internet in France, show 'em how it's done!

Its both a long-term national security issue, and political issue.

Why would any foreign nation give the US deep-state, intelligence agencies, and its controlled tech oligarchs control over its social media - especially now they have shown how quickly they will abuse that power?

For politicians who still think in 20th century terms - would you allow a foreign superpower control your newspapers and TV stations?

“Ally” or not - I would shut them down immediately

This is a lot like how many rinos vote. Wait to see how the voting is going and then vote a way they know their constituents want knowing the bill won’t pass anyway but can say they tried even though.

Macron is really upset about the tech companies because he knows most people feel their way but ultimately does nothing about it.

All these foreign leaders suddenly realized it could be done to them too.

Big Tech overplayed it’s hand.

kind of weird when world leaders defends “Trump” rights.
And the republican party doesn’t.
Kind of twisted.

This is how low we have sunk - that a French president is doing more to defend our free speech than our own despicable, disgusting politicos.

“I don’t want to live in a democracy where the key decisions and the decision to, at a point of time, to cut your mic … is decided by a private player, a private social network,”

Yeah! That’s GOVERNMENTS Job:-)
