SOUNDBITE (French), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, Let&rsquo;s see what is happening with the Facebook&rsquo;s story, it is a very important subject. I invited the CEO of Facebook here at the European Parliament. We have to ask him not only if there were a theft of names, that have been used for electoral campaigns, but also prevent that Facebook, You Tube and Twitter are used to make propaganda in favour of terrorism. It is very dangerous, we must be tough, we must give rules to this social communication instrument. This is not against liberty, this is to defend freedom.
