AMLO: Big Tech = Spanish Inquisition

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) says that Silicon Valley censorship reminds him of the Spanish Inquisition:


In a daily briefing on Thursday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador vowed that “at the [next] G-20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue.”

“Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression,” Obrador said, adding: “How can a company act as if it was all powerful, omnipotent, as a sort of Spanish Inquisition on what is expressed?”
