[Berlín = Akira Kondo]German Prime Minister Merkel has raised concerns about the US Twitter response, which has permanently frozen the account of US President Trump. German government spokesman Seibert revealed Merkel’s opinion at a regular press conference on the 11th.
“Freedom of expression is important as a fundamental right,” Seibert said. “The restrictions must be obeyed by law and not decided by private companies.” “From this point of view, Prime Minister Merkel is concerned that Mr. Trump’s account has been permanently frozen,” he said.
According to the German media, the French Minister of Economy and Finance, Lemer, said that Trump’s occupation of the US Parliament was “the result of Trump’s lie”, but that the regulation must be carried out by the state and the power of attorney.
Following the congressional occupation of the United States, Twitter announced on the 8th that it had permanently frozen Trump’s account, saying it could incite further violence. Facebook has also frozen Trump’s account indefinitely.
Merkel himself does not have a Twitter account and sometimes makes comments through the journalist’s account.
