In July, the EU demanded that Elon Musk abide by its moderation rules, based on its new content moderation law: The Digital Services Act. The law requires “tech platforms to weed out illegal and harmful content — or face fines.”
This places Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X globally under obligation to the European Union, thus implying a world dictatorship by the EU.
The fact that the “The Biden-Harris administration refuses to publicly condemn threats against American freedom of speech by the European Union over an interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk on his social media platform” means they agree with this. For the Biden administration, it’s an electoral boost in their favor.
The far left is becoming overtly communist while it accuses its opponents of trying to destroy democracy, an accusation frequently leveled at Donald Trump.
America is under serious threat, given that its fundamental freedoms under the First Amendment are being trampled by its own government. All while its Southern border remains wide open under the misrule of the same treasonous government.
“Exclusive: State Dept. Refuses to Condemn EU Censorship Threats,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, September 18, 2024:
The Biden-Harris administration refuses to publicly condemn threats against American freedom of speech by the European Union over an interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk on his social media platform, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has revealed.
A letter obtained exclusively to Breitbart News from Chairman Jordan to Secretary of State Antony Blinken disclosed that the U.S. State Department told lawmakers that it has no intention of publicly objecting to threats of censorship against an American social media company made by the EU Commissioner for Internal Market of the European Union Thierry Breton.
The letter from Jordan also revealed that the State Department is in possession of communications surrounding Breton’s threats against Elon Musk’s X platform but has yet to provide them to the Judiciary Committee.
Hours before the Tesla CEO and former President Donald Trump were due to conduct an X Spaces interview on August 12, Breton, who served until this week as the EU’s censorship czar, issued a public letter warning Mr Musk that he would use all powers afforded to him under Europe’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which include large fines and even a potential ban within the bloc.
Breton insisted that the live interview with the Republican presidential candidate not violate the speech restrictions of Brussels, including the dissemination of “content that may incite violence, hate and racism”. The French politician went on to demand that Musk implement “mitigation measures” to prevent the “amplification of harmful content” that may “generate detrimental effects on civic discourse and public security” in Europe.….

This is obvious! As an advocate of social democracy how could Biden-Harris be expected to allow different political views to be aired internationally? Let’s be serious. After over 100 years of socialists experiments isn’t it obvious that they do not support opposing views?

Just another democrat destroyed federal agency that needs to cease to exist.
