Given both Merkel and López Obrador are denouncing the recent Silicon Valley censorship, it's probably time to call them white supremacists or "fash-adjacent" or whatever the lowly left-liberal slur of the day is for those who question the union of tech monopolies & neoliberals.

In addition to the German Chancellor & Mexican President, 2 French ministers said they were "shocked" & disturbed by the spate of Silicon Valley censorship, including against Trump, calling tech giants "the digital oligarchy" & a "threat to democracy." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-11/merkel-sees-closing-trump-s-social-media-accounts-problematic …pic.twitter.com/ZKLGyr3lSo

Marine Le Pen also criticised the decision. As well most right-wing and x right wing figures in France. Are you purposefully sharing half the info ?

He has a press secretary, he has access to all the formal means to communicate . What was shut down was his propaganda via social media . The right to say something with zero evidence, spread it , and incite violence as a result . The comparison to Assanges case is terrible .

The problem being private entities doing this? sure that's the issue here, not their "coalition" and clear bias towards a well known side, otherwise, they would've made this decision long before and not at the same time
