'We Are Monitoring'

Breton is one of the key figures in an anti-free speech movement that has swept over Europe. It is now using the DSA, as many of us predicted, to force other countries to censor their citizens and even their leaders. It is free speech regulated to the lowest common denominator, the level set by the EU and Breton.

There is a crushing irony. The left has made “foreign interference” with elections a mantra of claiming to be defending democracy. Yet, it applauds EU censors threatening companies that carry an interview with a targeted American politician. It also supports importing such censorship and blacklisting systems to the United States. When you agree with the censorship, it is not viewed as interference, but an intervention.

If citizens want to see where the anti-free speech movement will take us in the United States, they need only to look at Europe where free speech is in a virtual free fall.

It's not in much better shape here, as Turley knows. The American media establishment opposes it for everyone but themselves, and the bureaucrats in Washington DC have spent years attempting to quash dissent through "misinformation" policing. Elon Musk is the man largely responsible for thwarting that effort, in fact, which is why he's such a target for the Orwellian authoritarians on both sides of the pond.
