No new ‘Trump levies’ that dominate the news this morning, but news about people who warn of Trump and his TechtraWants. The Dutch MediaMagnaat Joop van den Ende calls on ‘The Hague’ in a full -page advertisement in several national media to protect ‘our media companies’ against ‘the manipulation’ of American tech companies such as Meta, Amazon and X.
Van den Ende writes that these tech companies have a huge, bad influence on Dutch society, among other things because citizens are constantly present conspiracy theories and disinformation through those channels. “The thinking of the Dutch” is “controlled”, and elections manipulated, “he says. “A tactic that has also been performed by countries such as China and Russia for years, with the aim of undermining stability in Europe.”
In the meantime, Dutch politics only complains that our public broadcaster is not good and costs too much money, according to the media boss. It is high time that The Hague politics opted for a “healthy public broadcaster, vital commercial channels and a strong newspaper culture,” the media boss concludes.
