Europeans speaking out against censorship

There's representatives in Europe who're speaking out not only against censorship, but also failure to condemn leftist violence:
Jerome Riviere, president of the Identity and Democracy group, the bloc of national populist and national conservative parties in the European Parliament, condemned big tech censorship in a speech at the EU legislature this week.

The Identity and Democracy groups includes Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from a number of mainstream national populist parties in European countries.

The parties include Matteo Salvini’s Lega party in Italy, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, and Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Germany.

National conservative parties from Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Belgium, Austria, and the Czech Republic are also represented.

In his speech, Riviere, a French MEP representing the National Rally party, condemned the recently inaugurated President Biden for his lackluster response to political violence and insurrection from the far left during summer, and said the rise of tech censorship against President Trump and his movement represented a concern for all democracies.

“The other overwhelming spectacle that should worry us is the exclusion by almost all social networks of a democratically elected and still serving president.”

“This represents an unprecedented historical aggression against this essential democratic principle: respect for freedom of expression.”

“Social networks have disconnected Donald Trump, arrogating to themselves the exorbitant right to create new rules. They believe conditions of use of their service take precedence over the constitution of sovereign states
.

Riviere is the latest major political voice to join a worldwide backlash against the political power of big tech companies; a backlash that begun after Donald Trump – then still the president – was permanently suspended from most major social media platforms.
Seeing that Poland is beginning a major anti-censorship drive of their own, this'll hopefully be the wakeup call needed at a time when Biden is making a major disaster of US policy, beginning - but not limited to - stateside alone.

Biden will also make major disaster for the West.
