That’s rich, coming from the tas de merde himself.
Tas de merde…piece of shit?
The sooner EUrope has a firm handle on its own IT ecosystem, the sooner it can tell the US to go pound sand. Macron is spot on.
Macron is on the cusp of handing off the government to the far right that will try and fix themselves in power permanently, and busy crushing any popular reform that would preclude that far right from winning eventually based on being the only real protest vote.
So easy with the Spot On bit. Macron is a disgrace and a failure just as Starmer is, which will become clear in time to even the thralls of our corporate media.
Their free speech, not yours.

This is all you need to know: these self-proclaimed defenders of free speech are full of shit.
Macron is 100% right about Big Tech algorithms crushing supposed “free speech.” You don’t even have to think about offensive or controversial opinions here.
On Facebook, all of your friends are effectively shadowbanned – buried – behind an unending stream of AI-generated garbage videos. You don’t have freedom of any speech in a room where a loudspeaker is blaring garbage at you 24/7.
I can’t even get a feed from friends on fb. It’s all groups. Which sure, I want a few groups to coordinate on some stuff, but I want the option of a chronological list of friend posts, which is what fb was all about.
I heard it was changed because of that lawsuit by the justice department accusing them of being a monopoly. They controlled all of the market for like friend networks, but are just one player in general content, so they changed the site to be general content for the lawsuit, to give the courts a wink wink excuse to rule for them, (and I’m sure later have their proxy sell those justices’ in laws that property in the country on the blue ribbon trout stream in the foothills for a fraction of the market rate, or the like.)
One wonders if they will change it back, I have no control over my feed, and don’t even log in unless I need marketplace. Waste of time, it’s glitchy, getting worse, they forced changes making it virtually worthless, their moderation targets people that aren’t doing anything wrong for inexplicable secret reasons and there is no one to appeal or talk to, etc.
Is there no fediverse alternative for them? It might be the hardest to overcome the bias from everyone already being on it, but as it’s value is near zero for communicating to your contacts it might be time.
Friendica?
he doesnt seem concerned about people on the “lefts” speech being censored, but those on the right. macron isnt an ally.
He does some good things and some bad things. Don’t fall for simplistic thinking where everything and everyone is either good or evil.
When fighting to tax the rich, Macron is not an ally. When fighting to regulate American big tech he can be an ally, and it would be stupid not to use him as such.
The only way we are going to see any meaningful regulations on social media companies is if EU countries impose them.
It won’t come from the US, they own the politicians and media so regulation would be instantly made unpopular via the propaganda channels that they control.
SLAMS!
salami macaroni
Macaroni verses penne.
Man the gloves are coming off!
About damn time. People need to stop dancing around the orange turd and his cronies, desperately trying to appease them.
Macron and trch giants claims to defend free speech
All politicians are corrupt
Sick burn dude.
All tech CEOs are psychopaths.
I can do it too! This is fun.
Let me join in! All Lemmy users are wasting their time generalising away into the cold, dark void of the internet.
