https://www.afinalwarning.com/488784.html (Natural News) The banning of U.S. President Donald Trump on social media platforms has brought up security concerns for different countries. Trump’s suspension on Facebook and Twitter has made some countries assess their communication channels for potential risks.
According to experts, Big Tech censorship could cause countries to develop their own communication platforms, instead of depending on a few American technology firms with wide powers.
Population Research Institute President Steven Mosher told
The Epoch Times that any ideologically driven decision to censor political speech comes with serious consequences. “It will spark a massive move off of their platforms to other existing and new platforms that will be created,” he said. Mosher also remarked that Big Tech firms such as Twitter are “grossly underestimating” the number of people overseas who support Trump, in both the public and private spheres.

The new trade minister, Dan Tehan, has been handed one of the Morrison government’s most demanding roles. Despite a lot of chest-thumping in government circles about the need to stand up to “Chinese bullying”, Tehan’s task will be to find a way to restore a constructive trading partnership with China in the national interest.
Beijing’s trade reprisals for perceived political slights should not be countenanced. However, there is no useful purpose in overreacting to China’s bad behaviour.
The business community, which has been alarmed by a deterioration in the China relationship, will watch Tehan carefully as he outlines his ideas for engagement.
