Saxon SPD leader Henning Homann fears a further disinhibition of social media following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. "It is clear that social media will be largely deregulated," said the 45-year-old politician in Dresden. Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg had also caved in to Trump.
The tech companies are currently under heavy criticism: while Meta boss Zuckerberg announced that he would end his cooperation with fact-checkers in the USA, critics accuse tech billionaire Elon Musk of changing X's algorithm to favor right-wing content.
