Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, why are you so afraid of freedom of expression? Why are you so afraid of opinions and confrontation? For years, digital platforms, under the pretext of fighting disinformation, have censored. For some time now, we have been denouncing the disproportionate power of multinational corporations that influence people's minds and opinions. The courageous response of the left? The silence. Or worse, culpable support for censors. In the name of political correctness, gender ideology and the Green Deal, you have passively aligned yourselves and now demand the censorship of those who guarantee freedom of expression, as well as rejoice over the unjust annulment of the Romanian elections. It is about being with freedom or with those who are ready to bend it for the propaganda of their ideology. We are not afraid of confrontation: We know who we are, but above all we know that truth always wins. And if, as St. Augustine says, the truth is like a lion defending itself, it is up to us to free it.
