Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is addressing Big Tech’s recent banning of President Trump and wants to hold them accountable. The left-wing president plans to introduce a proposal to take on Big Tech companies at the next G20 summit.

The Daily Wire reports:

“I can tell you that at the first G20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue,” López Obrador said. “Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression.”

“How can a company act as if it was all powerful, omnipotent, as a sort of Spanish Inquisition on what is expressed?” López Obrador asked.

López Obrador’s Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said that Mexico has already started the work of getting other nations involved in the effort, including “officials in France, Germany, the European Union, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia,” The Associated Press reported.

“Given that Mexico, through our president, has spoken out, we immediately made contact with others who think the same,” Ebrard said. “The president’s orders are to make contact with all of them, share this concern and work on coming up with a joint proposal. We will see what is proposed.”

This is not the first time López Obrador has openly criticized Big Tech’s censorship of President Trump. The President has spoken out against the bold move by Big tech saying it’s a “bad sign” private companies are allowed to censor opinions.
