President of EU National Populists Joins International Backlash Against Tech Censors
21 Jan 2021
Jerome Riviere, president of the Identity and Democracy group, the bloc of national populist and national conservative parties in the European Parliament, condemned big tech censorship in a speech at the EU legislature this week.
The Identity and Democracy groups includes Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from a number of mainstream national populist parties in European countries.
The parties include Matteo Salvini’s Lega
party in Italy, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, and Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Germany.
Global leaders are slamming decisions by American social media giants to ban President Trump from their platforms, in many cases separating their personal opinions of the president from their unease over the sweeping power that American Big Tech firms such as Twitter and Facebook now wield.
The failure of the democratic and libertarian project of George Washington and his more or less Zionist-derived Freemasons began then, with those excellent and unforgettable crimes, and ended on Capitol Hill where an intrigue between legitimate rights to protest against certain electoral fraud – but it is not known to what extent and therefore not demonstrable in its weight – mixed with the belligerent impulses of those agitated demonstrators who in Italy, during the No-Tav squats and occupations, would have been free to injure the policemen just because they demonstrate under the revolutionary wing of the left.
I would like Nancy Pelosi, reconfirmed in her position as speaker of the House despite the double treacherous attack on the President of the United States of America perpetrated with the subtle weapon of the hired traitors of CIA and FBI intelligence in the RussiaGate and UkraineGate scandals, which melted like snow in the sun for their inconsistency, summon Bashar Al As
Donald Trump s Twitter Ban Concerns World Leaders, Officials
On 1/12/21 at 8:06 AM EST
While world leaders largely condemned the ugly scenes of chaos and insurrection in Washington, D.C. last week, some have spoken out against the decision of major social media companies to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms for fear of him inciting more unrest before President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration.
Leaders and senior government officials across the world have expressed concern at the decision to remove Trump s pages from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram among others after he incited the violence at the Capitol last week. Several suggested the move set a worrying precedent for freedom of expression online, regardless of Trump s inflammatory behavior.
World Leaders Denounce Big Tech Censorship of President Donald Trump
At present, the president has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, and Instagram.
Twitter permanently removed Trump’s account, saying that his recent posts were in violation of the “Glorification of Violence Policy.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Twitter’s ban on Trump “problematic,” and said that freedom of opinion is an essential right of “elementary significance,” her spokesperson, Steffen Siebert, said on Jan 11.
“This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined by legislators not according to a decision by the management of social media platforms,” Siebert said.
