spiked | Elon Musk vs the EU’s empire of censorship @spiked | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
X owner Elon Musk has lifted the lid on the European Union’s hidden censorship regime. Brussels has agreed to secret deals with the social-media giants, he claims, giving Eurocrats the power to censor the internet at will. X is now facing huge fines for refusing to submit. In our latest polemic, Fraser Myers argues that there is far more at stake here than one billionaire and his tech firm. Under the guise of tackling ‘hate speech’ and ‘disinformation’, the EU is seeking to silence all opposition to its rule. Musk is absolutely right to take it on. The free speech of millions of Europeans is on the line.
