Germany's Vice Chancellor Proposes Draconian Regulation of X Due to Musk's Support for Trump
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. This move aligns with Germany's broader efforts to address what it deems illegal or harmful speech, as evidenced by a recent Transparency Report from X indicating that nearly 90% of information requests on such speech came from Germany. Habeck, who is also the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, has sparked concerns about censorship and the implications for free speech.
