President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration is reaching out to other governments to form a common front on the issue.
“I can tell you that at the first G20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue,” López Obrador said. “Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression.”
“How can a company act as if it was all powerful, omnipotent, as a sort of Spanish Inquisition on what is expressed?” he asked.
Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico is starting to build an international campaign around the issue.
“Given that Mexico, through our president, has spoken out, we immediately made contact with others who think the same,” Ebrard said, noting they had heard from officials in France, Germany, the European Union, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
“The president’s orders are to make contact with all of them, share this concern and work on coming up with a joint proposal.”
Don't get your hopes up, they are pissed not because big tech censored, they are pissed that they've taken that power away from the government.
Facebook and Twitter are political weapons and they know it. If they have an ounce of pride in their countries, they should block them. The alternative is the DC Swamp having kingmaker leverage over their political elections.
Somebody photoshop Dorksy into the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition sketch for me. Anyway, Twitter is getting their bubble burst and by "POC" no less.
