Macron on Tech Companies: “Free Speech Is Pure Bulls**t”
Speaking in New Delhi on Wednesday, France’s President Emmanuel Macron criticized social media companies over their pledged commitments to free speech and lack of algorithm transparency.
“Some of them claim to be in favor of free speech. We are in favor of free algorithms, totally transparent,” Macron said. “Free speech is pure bulls**t if nobody knows how you are guided to this so-called free speech.”
Those new steps by France follow the EU’s own censorship measures under the Digital Services Act, which created legal punishments for online “hate speech” throughout Europe.
