(LifeSiteNews) — The EU Commissioner for Internal Market has said that the EU can ban social media platforms in cases of civil unrest.
Thierry Breton said in an interview with France Info, “If there is hateful content, content that calls for rioting or killing, for example […] the [social media] platforms are obliged to delete it. If they fail to do so, they will be sanctioned immediately,” according to Heise Online.
“We have teams that can intervene immediately,” the Frenchman said. If those responsible do not act immediately, “then yes, we can not only impose a fine but also ban the operation” of the platforms “on our territory.”
Breton said that social media giants like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. could be banned on the basis of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA).
The calls by globalists like Breton to ban social media in Europe come in response to the violent migrant riots in France that broke out after a 17-year-old French-Algerian was shot and killed by a policeman.
