Teasing dumb people is not a crime
Putin gave a speech today, where instead of addressing the alleged false imprisonment of the cosmetic scam fraudster and CIA color revolutionist Alexi Navalny, he discussed the global power of tech monopolies.
“These are no longer just economic giants — in some areas they are already de facto competing with states,” Putin said of the global monopolies.
This is obviously true.
“How well does this monopolism work with the public interest?” Putin asked. “Where is the line between sucessful businesses and big data consolidation, on the one hand, and the desire to rule the society by being a substitute for legitimate democratic institutions, by deciding for the people how to live and what to choose and what they can express freely?”
“We have seen this quite recently in the United States, and everyone understands quite clearly what I’m talking about, and I’m sure everyone knows what I’m talking about,” he said, referencing the banning of Donald Trump from the internet and the subsequent massive shut down of freedom of speech.
His speech was in many ways the opposite of the speech that the former German Defense Minister, now the head of the European Commission, a woman called Ursula Van Der Lynn, gave yesterday for the forum, calling for an increased shut down of free speech online.
The Russian leader also warned of the US agenda to go hunting for enemies in their own country, and spoke of how this was going to be used as an excuse for find enemies outside the country.
