The SPD politician Sawsan Chebli calls for Twitter to be regulated in order to take action against hatred of communication platforms on the Internet. In an interview with RHEINPFALZ am SONNTAG, the 44-year-old Berliner with Palestinian roots said: “I don’t want to make Twitter more powerful, I want to regulate it.
