Also, please, Canada, Europe, please take this example and push for similar laws immediately

EPN was a filthy neoliberal who privatized our national oil refinery (PeMex) and did some other shady shit. He was a terrible president. :/
Well done Mexico. Let's hope this trend of fighting back against the US continues. Huge fan of the Mexican president right now. Wish she was out president in the states. Hell, I wish a coma patient were in charge right now. Things would be more stable.
Post-Trump US should do the same.
If you are broadcasting talking points exactly identical to those in Russian (or Chinese, or Saudi) state-controlled media, you're not exercising your free speech rights, you are a propagandist and should be treated as such.
They should also reinstate the laws that require news agencies to be factual and where possible unbiased. This would automatically kill fox news and oann as they lie the shit out of their asses
Does this mean they’ll ban all big media, but not AP and Independent media?
We have great examples from a certain country, to show that "allowing unlimited money in politics = free speech" is bad. There will be disingenuous 'slippery slope' arguments to it but the types of campaigns that this rule is meant to stop is clearly defined and limited.
This sort of thing needs to capture social media too. And I want it in Canada too.
I saw those ads in Canada too and I'm sick of them
