German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes that the decision by social media giants to permanently suspend Donald Trump’s accounts is problematic because freedom of opinion should not be determined by such online platform bosses, her spokesman said Monday.

“The fundamental right to freedom of opinion is a fundamental right of elementary importance, and this fundamental right can be interfered with, but through the law and within the framework defined by the legislature, not according to the decision of the management of social media platforms,” said Merkel’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert.

“From this point of view, the Chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the US president have been permanently blocked.”

He said that lies or incitement to violence were also “very problematic”, but that the path to dealing with them should be for the state to draw up a legal regulatory framework.

Completely blocking out views by halting the account is a step too far, the spokesman said, but added that he backed action taken by social media in recent months to flag false claims.

The Satanist Democrats have completely destroyed America because if their hate for Donald Trump they have weaponized race baiting and hate , introduced mindless election rigging into the bastion of democracy and to make matters worse they have destroyed the alter of freedom of speech America was known for .. America it's on its way out of being the world's leader

Well said Chancellor

The first time Merkel will sound half sensible only that it's for the show. Merkel is a show master. It's been years China has been misbehaving you and Germany has been turning the blind eye, hypocritical EU

Trump is a rich man. He can create his own social media platform with the funds he has been mobilizing from his gullible supporters since he lost the election. He could call it TrumpBook or Trumpeter whatever catches his wierd fancy. But it may likely go the way of the failed Trump University because his love and obsession for Twitter has no rival

Wish I can have a Loyal fan like Angela Merkel after What Trump did to her and threatening her government. Here's she still defending Trump

We have been saying the same o but they called us pro Trump.

His excesses are for the legislature to check not some tech company.

They can flag false info or claims and stop at that.
Making users know that such information is not to be trusted or followed.
