Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez just declared war on the open internet. Under the guise of "safety" and "accountability," his government is launching a full-scale assault on free speech, specifically targeting platforms that refuse to bend the knee to state-approved narratives. In a direct hit to the "freedom of reach," Spain will now criminalize the amplification of content the state deems "illegal." This gives the government the power to dictate how software is written. If an algorithm happens to show a truth that makes the ruling party look bad, it’s a "criminal offense." Under the pretext of "protecting the children," Spain is banning anyone under 16 from social media and demanding "real barriers" for age verification. This is a massive Trojan Horse for a National Digital ID. To "save the kids," Sánchez is effectively demanding that every Spanish citizen hand over their private biometric or legal data just to scroll a feed. He has also vowed to make platform executives like Elon Musk legally accountable for what users post, effectively holding tech leaders’ personal freedom hostage. It’s a transparent attempt to force Silicon Valley (and Austin) to build "kill switches" for any content the Spanish government doesn't like. Sánchez dropped the mask at the end, specifically naming Grok, the one AI committed to the unvarnished truth, alongside TikTok and Instagram for investigation.

@PM_ViktorOrban @elonmusk @PM_ViktorOrban but the EU billions were good, right? If EU is so globalist why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and give it all back.

Brussels seeks to bend us to its will - confiscating our rights and imposing its globalist agenda. We refuse to back down. Instead, we will reclaim what is ours and transform the EU from within. History will turn, scores will be settled, Hungary stands firm!

@elonmusk @elonmusk That judge defended the democracy, did not end it. You know nothing about Romania and the reason why a Romanian institution has banned a fascist to run for the presidential elections.

How can a judge end democracy in Romania?

@elonmusk @elonmusk those rights are what a citizen gets for the taxes he/she pays. Yes, they are fundamentals.

I miss him

@repdarrellissa @realDonaldTrump Especially that suspending all the military aids for Ukraine will only boost the bloodshed. Of Ukrainians. The Russians have weapons to defend themselves.

Today I will nominate @realDonaldTrump for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one deserves it more.

@elonmusk @elonmusk It depends on the actions. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was an action. Do you agree with it?

Actions, not words, are what matter. Let’s see what actions take place.

Mister Trump, this thing about imprisoning "agitators" instantly reminded me of Romania's dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu. I would have never thought that a saying of an American president would trigger such memories.

"An online ad network with Russian roots promotes extremist propaganda and financial fraud, using Romania to collect data & manipulate public opinion. Behind innocent-looking ads, money & data flow to Kremlin-linked structures". A must read! (snoop.ro)

@Gerashchenko_en Looks like Trump has 3 major goals: go ahead of China in the AI Revolution (get rare earth metals at a bargain; make TSMC, world's largest chipmaker, put 100 billions in the US), control the government and a Nobel peace prize. For him, peace is a business deal.

Friends, What do you think are the true goals of the current United States Administration? What do they want? We have a community of thinkers and experts here. Maybe you've seen some analysis on the topic. Where are the United States and the world headed? Thank you.

@elonmusk @elonmusk I know fact check isn't your thing, but you are spreading a lie! The Romanian authorities found strong evidences that the presidential candidate Calin Georgescu lied about his zero-funds campaign and his connections with a mercenary with Russian ties.

The NGOs are trying to destroy democracy!

You say you want peace and the bloodshed to stop, but you suspend ALL military aid to Ukraine. In your own logic, you don't want more Russians to die, because you've just made Ukrainian soldiers easier targets.

@elonmusk @elonmusk I agree that the war has to end, but let's be realistic - a real and long lasting peace cannot be reached just like that when the aggressor is Russia. Peace can't be treated like a business deal.

What I said over 2 years ago was that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains. The latter was Zelensky’s choice. Now, he wants to do that again. This is cruel and inhumane.

I won't be surprised if Trump and Putin soon make a deal on rare earth minerals. Trump would say it's for MAGA (the AI Revolution, hitting China hard). Putin, to tie the US into his plans. For Trump, peace is a business. For Putin, it's a card in a bigger game.

@elonmusk Social media IS NOT NEWS!!! It's a platform where everyone says anything they want with zero responsibility.

Send people links from 𝕏, so they know what’s really going on!

Found in the home of Georgescu’s bodyguard, Musk's men in Bucharest! Russia is waging a war against our democracies. And Trump & his billionaires are tagging along..

Anyone who can’t admit that Russia attacked Ukraine should not be helping make decisions about our national security.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

@JeffBezos Interesting choice of words for a move that actually limits the freedom of speech/opinions. This is so dangerous. Who decides what viewpoints are opposing personal liberties and free markets?

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

Kind reminder: the Romanian presidential candidate arrested today stated numerous times that he spent zero money on a million-dollar worth TikTok (presidential) campaign. Besides false public statements, he's accused of the initiation of an antisemitic organization. #justice
