FRENCH MEP SARAH KNAFO: THE EU PREVENTS ELON FROM MAKING 𝕏 A SPACE OF FREEDOM
“For having written the Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn had to leave his country and exile himself in the United States.
For having challenged British colonization, Gandhi was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Today, it is not in Moscow that the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has been arrested, but here in France under Emmanuel Macron.
It is not in Cuba that Elon Musk is prevented from making Twitter a space of freedom, but here in Brussels, in the Europe of Ursula von der Leyen.
Here, in the civilization that should protect freedom of expression.
Better, that invented it.
Here, Europeans are muzzled, intimidated, and punished.
Here, the right is silenced, censored on social media, and harassed by the judiciary, associations, and even banks.
It is in my country, France, that the television channel C8 has just been banned from broadcasting in almost complete silence.
It is in my country that young influencers are being banned by Instagram without any explanation.
It's in my country, the land of human rights, that the public audiovisual service, funded by our taxes, decides who speaks, what we talk about, and how we talk about it.
Yet, I tell you, opinions do not disappear just because their expression is silenced.
The more you attack us, the more numerous we will become.
You can censor us, but you cannot censor reality.
What we cannot see on television because of you, we see in our streets every day.
You will not stop Europeans from thinking.
You will not stop Europeans from living. You will not stop Europeans from telling you we are not criminals, but dissidents.
We will always prefer Tocqueville to Thierry Breton, Elon Musk to Ursula von der Leyen, and freedom to censorship.”

Hi @init7 👋 In den Vereinigten Staaten sind wohl die lawful interception Schnittstellen kompromittiert worden - oh die Ironie! Wäre das bei uns in der 🇨🇭 auch möglich? @kuenzler
@Violapamherd Klar, ehrlich und transparent kommunizieren! Nach dem Covid-Debakel hat Politik & Akademik beim Volk viel aufzuholen. Zensur scheint die einfache Lösung, wird aber bestimmt nicht mehr toleriert.
@VLOelmann Mein Fazit nach 4 Jahre EV: Supercharger funktionieren immer 👍 Alle anderen gehen gefühlt 3 von 4 Versuchen. Oft offline, mal UI freeze, dann geht Roaming nicht, laden stoppt nach 2min etc etc.
