Oct 25, 2024, 10:10 AM
Germany's Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, a member of the Green Party, has proposed draconian regulations for the social media platform X, citing Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump as a primary reason. Habeck stated that the current unregulated form of social media is unacceptable.

Habeck, who is also the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, has sparked concerns about censorship and the implications for free speech.
