Germany Orders Telegram to BAN Trump Supporters
January 21, 2022
Germany has threatened to shut down pro free speech platform Telegram if they do not ban Trump supporters from their platform immediately.
Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser warned that the app is contributing to an acceleration of “right-wing extremism” and “conspiracy theories,” in Germany.
“We remind #Apple and #Google of their social responsibility. As long as they offer apps like #Telegram in their stores, they are also a form of accelerator for #right-wing extremism and #conspiracy theories. No place for #hate and #calls for murder!” the minister hysterically tweeted.
In a follow-up tweet, Faeser declared “Everyone has the #right to peaceful assembly. We draw the line when it comes to #hate and #baiting. #Right-wing extremists are increasingly abusing the #Corona demos for their ideology against the #state. We will crack down there with consistent #law enforcement.”
Summit.news reports: A further statement statement from Germany’s regional interior ministers specifically noted that those organising against the government’s COVID restrictions are using Telegram.
“The social network Telegram and comparable providers serve people in Germany as a networking [platform for Covid protest movements], corona deniers and right-wing radicals,” the statement read.
Last week, Faeser told the German media “We cannot rule this out,” when asked if the platform will be targeted for censorship.
