Mexico could soon have a law to regulate mainstream social media networks to protect free speech. Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrado has been critical of social media companies, and even blasted Facebook for indefinitely suspending former President Trump.

The new bill, proposed by the leader of the ruling party, Senator Ricardo Monreal, will amend the federal telecommunications law to give the IFT, the country’s telecom regulator, the mandate to suspend or remove social media accounts – not the Big Tech platform.

In the draft bill, Monreal specifically mentioned Facebook, the most popular social network in Mexico, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Snapchat.

Meanwhile the US shits it's diaper in the play pen, while drooling over its busy box (fisher price) furiously pretending to be APPEAR as intelligent (liberals) as REAL intelligent folk.
