Billionaire globalist George Soros has called for the European Union to regulate Facebook and Google because he believes people are being "manipulated". Nothing to do with pro-Brexit and Eurosceptic movements across the world utilising social media to reach a wide audience, of course!

In an article published on the Guardian website, Soros refers to the companies as a "public menace" which regulators need "to protect society against them".

Soros also says Facebook "interferes with the functioning of democracy and the integrity of elections" because he claims people "can be easily manipulated".

"This danger does not loom only in the future; it played an important role in the 2016 US presidential election," he writes.

His delusions go even further. He says that social media companies are "public utilities and should subject them to more stringent regulation".

Westmonster thinks the open-borders facilitator is a bit of a hypocrite, given his penchant for 'meddling' all over the globe!

Over the summer, Soros met EU President Jean-Claude Juncker and other top EU officials several times behind closed doors - with reporters unable to ask questions to the pair afterwards.

His name came up nearly 60 times in emails released by WIkiLeaks relating to the US Presidential race.

Last week, it was revealed his foundation would be donating £500k to a campaign dedicated to overturning the Brexit vote.

Comment: Soros himself could well be described as a public menace:

• Ironic: George Soros accuses Facebook & Google of manipulation and deceit
• The world needs to wake up to who George Soros really is - Nigel Farage
• Guy Adams: George Soros broke the Bank of England
• Hungary declares George Soros an 'Agent of Satan'
• Soros recommits to destroying nationalism within the framework of 'secular humanism'
• Daddy Warbucks of the Radical Left: George Soros Hates Putin, Trump and Nationalism
• George Soros: The hidden hand behind 'color revolutions'
• George Soros: An American oligarch's dirty tale of corruption
• George Soros, Postmodern Villain

And Breitbart weighs in:

[...]
Mr. Soros has a cosy relationship with the EU's unelected leaders, meeting with them 11 times since the Brexit vote. Prime Minister Theresa May, in contrast, has had just three meetings in that period.

Just over a week ago, it was revealed Mr. Soros had quietly pumped half a million pounds into groups trying to block Brexit and overthrow the Tory government.

In the Guardian article, he wrote that social media can "influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it" and "this interferes with the functioning of democracy and the integrity of elections".

Due to social media use, he claimed people are losing "freedom of mind", adding: "This danger does not loom only in the future; it played an important role in the 2016 US presidential election."

"President Donald Trump would like to establish his own mafia-style state," he said, claiming the President was part of the same problem as North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un.

"In the US, regulators are not strong enough to stand up to the monopolies' political influence. The EU is better positioned, because it doesn't have any platform giants of its own," he continued.

"The EU commissioner for competition Margrethe Vestager is the champion of the European approach," he added, praising the bureaucrat who recently visited Communist Cuba without condemning human rights abuses in the nation.

Mr. Soros, who has been convicted of insider trading, is also suspected of attempting to interfere in U.S. elections, and his name came up around 60 times in emails released by WikiLeaks relating to the recent presidential race.
