Summary

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez claimed tech billionaires are using social media to undermine democracy by exploiting algorithms to spread disinformation and manipulate society for personal agendas.

He criticized platforms for fostering division, undermining democratic processes, and concentrating power among elites.

Sánchez proposed EU regulations, including requiring digital identification for social media users and holding platform owners accountable under the Digital Services Act.

He also condemned Elon Musk and Peter Thiel for promoting reactionary and anti-democratic ideas, urging Europe to counter the “tech caste.”

      You gotta have a public position and a private one, just like Hillary said. Say whatever is useful in the moment while staying on course to achieving your true intentions of obtaining more power.
