“The law brought here by this predatory coalition is a great danger to democracy and freedom of expression. “Limit to what this coalition is trying to do, they are trying to shut up everywhere, and in this place as well. The government is not satisfied with the mobilized media, now it also wants to shut up on social media.”
“You don’t have to pin a judge to censor social media”
Netanyahu added: “Let it be clear, we are all against violent and abusive discourse whether it takes place on social networks, whether in the media or in dialogue between two people, but as we do not attach a judge to any conversation between two people we do not have to attach a judge to censor The social networks. “
“Because a violation of the freedom of expression in the networks is a fatal violation of democracy. Even so, unfortunately, your queen is already being done by the media companies that systematically censor the right.”
“But Bennett Lapid and Saar are not satisfied with the mobilized media, with the censorship of the Leeman media companies, they are now trying to close this loophole as well. Those who stole the last election and did not pass the blocking percentage now want to shut up the public to steal the next election.”
“It will not help them, I call on anyone who really wants democracy to oppose this evil and anti-democratic law and fight vigorously for freedom of expression which is the lifeblood of true democracy. But if this bad law passes, my friends and I when we return to the leadership of the state “The additional Iran that this evil and anti-democratic government is allegedly passing on in the name of democracy.”
