Angela Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesperson on Monday said Twitter’s decision to ban the President is “problematic” and that freedom of opinion is an essential right of “elementary significance.” Merkel’s spokesperson continued, “This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined by legislators—not according to a decision by the management of social media platforms.”
