Das heiรŸt, es entstehen hier faktisch Medienmonopole amerikanischer Herkunft

They are talking about a US monopoly on media delivery and by extension censorship. This is a very valid concern considering how Musk and Zuckerberg are buddies with Trump. Basically they want to prevent US election interference. Just yesterday there were articles about Zohran Mamdani (NYC mayoral candidate) being temporarily banned from Instagram for not having political opinions that serve US interests.

They are selling it as a way to boost local media (movie production) companies, but its pretty clear to me that its related to the US trade war.

Then provide a source for the debunking. This was what i read yesterday.

https://nycjournals.com/2025/07/21/instagram-suspends-zohran-mamdanis-account-leaked-memo-cites-national-interest-as-meta-tilts-right/

His account was definitely suspended, but the leaked memo might be fake ofc.

That link seems to be from a non-existent news source - "nycjournals.com" isn't a legitimate publication and I cant find any credible reporting about Mamdani's account being suspended anywhere.

Thats why i asked the previous commenter to provide a source for the debunking so we dont have to keep guessing. Seems like it was indeed entirely fake. https://www.theverge.com/news/713385/zohran-mamdani-instagram-suspended-debunk
