A week after his United States counterpart was kicked off Facebook and Twitter, President López Obrador on Wednesday floated the idea of creating a national social media network to avoid the possibility of Mexicans being censored.
Speaking at his regular news conference, AMLO, as the president is best known, instructed the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt) and other government departments to look at the possibility of creating a state-owned social media site that would guarantee freedom of speech in Mexico.
