Macron said in another tweet, “Transparent user policies, significant reinforcement of content moderation and protection of freedom of speech: efforts have to be made by Twitter to comply with European regulations.”

The billionaire and the world leader met in New Orleans.

Macron met with Joe Biden and other lawmakers on Thursday, including Kevin McCarthy.

“This state visit enables us to put France, and with France Europe, at the heart of the American agenda. That’s a good thing,” Macron told journalists in French, according to a translation from pool reporters.

Speaking on Good Morning America this week, Macron claimed that free speech must have “limits,” even though our Constitution says otherwise.

“Free speech and democracy is based on respect and public order. You can demonstrate, you can have free speech, you can write what you want, but there are responsibilities and limits,” he said.
