The suspension of the businessman’s Twitter account was recently reported and in his TV message he described the event as an attack on freedom of expression.
This is not the first time that a billionaire has been censored by the platform, Donald Trump is also one of the most controversial cases.
The return of Ricardo Salinas It happened like that of few, like few, because after Twitter blocked his account accused of promoting hate speech, the businessman had the idea of announcing his punishment on alternative social networks and “hacking” Twitter using the account of one of their television channels, to reappear on the social network.
The businessman is known because he has built a media empire, only on social networks like Twitter he has personally discovered himself, without any ties or intelligence in the way of communicating facts or commenting on controversies, a situation that has generated criticism, such as happened with the suspension of your account.
Due to this, he resorted to broadcasting a message of just over 3 minutes, where he also gives his testimony after the infection by C0VID-I9 that he suffered in recent days.
In his message, he revealed that he will seek alternatives to respond to the Supreme Court’s resolution, after refusing to review the tax case between Elektra and the SAT. Another issue addressed by the businessman was censorship on Twitter, where he assured that there should be no prohibition of any kind, for which he recognized that words are different from actions and the former should not be prohibited in any of their forms. or speeches.
“Today is a very eventful day, for one day the government officials have just given us a tasty stick in the Supreme Court, where the ministers refused to review our case and there we have a problem and it will have to be solved, but here they never give up , we stayed on the line.
Then this unpleasant matter of censorship on Twitter, it really draws a lot of attention how these critics who spend their time pointing out and offending people on Twitter, when one answers them in their own terms they get offended, the dogs run away with their mami Twitter and come on, my account is blocked, I didn’t think it was like that, but it’s already happened, I’m sure we’re going to fix it and if not, we have other channels. Freedom of expression is fundamental, when one cannot express criticism, point out what is wrong, freedom is over.
Everyone has a justification, freedom of expression should not have any limits, one can say whatever, but if you start doing actions it is something else, in actions one has to be responsible for their actions, the decision is very sad from some hidden Twitter bureaucrats”, he explained in his message.

Social networks against the great billionaires
The measure taken against Salinas reminds us of the controversial departure of Donald Trump from this platform, a social network that prohibited the billionaire from returning, in a fact about which even President López Obrador spoke out, regretting the measure taken against the Republican.
Since then, Twitter has become a highly criticized space for the decisions it makes to censor content and verifying that the form is prohibited on its network, not the substance, since the accounts of various critics of Salinas continue to operate and did not censor all the users involved in this controversy, after the businessman launched with comments using controversial words, to describe various accounts that were launched against him for issues such as the tax battle that Elektra has with the SAT.
Guidelines on networks that unsettle
The purism sought by social networks in the regulation of their content has kept this debate latent about freedom of expression and the limits it should have, but the question that remains is who these sanctions are applied to and why accounts like those who criticize Salinas for generating content against the businessman’s reputation, but messages from the owner of Azteca with rudeness are cause for the suspension of his account, so the form is regulated and not the substance.
Intelligence to communicate in networks
Based on the Salinas case, Trump’s ban on returning to Twitter, and the publication policies that networks like Facebook also implement on their platforms (Instagram), it is worth understanding the necessary intelligence required by speeches that are activated on social networks and How do they influence communication?
Faced with these elements, it is important to understand what aspects help determine a good network communication strategy and how to respond to attacks, so that instead of low blows they become flawless postures to be censored by the platforms.
