In order to keep the internet a free space for everyone, Argentina’s justices decreed that political candidates and their parties cannot write anything in Twitter that might influence voters. (The average Juan can write whatever). It’s an odd interpretation of the situation when the government sees intellectual freedom as contingent on restricting others’ free speech. Still, it’s produced some interesting Twitter posts, as candidates search round-about ways to speak their mind:
* Frente de Izquierda (Leftist Front, abbreviated FIT): “How do you say “foot” in English?? FIT, right?”
* Binner-supporter (socialist): “I have my first car. I bought a model K”
(Binner had commented earlier that the K (Krichner) model of government goes hand in hand with mass poverty; Link to that comment: http://www.binnerpresidente.com/binner-el-modelo-k-convive-con-10-millones-de-pobres/)
* “How do you make a (“RICA”) DELICIOUS pizza (“CARDITO” )COUNTRY STYLE?”
This seems to reference RICrdo Alfonsín, and, somehow, Cristina Kirchner (I feel like something is lost in translation here . . . )
Are you persuaded?
