There is not a single day passing without some completely insane idea coming from the White House on how to demolish the democracies in Europe a little bit more.
The newest idea was now uncovered by Reuters.
Apparently, the US State Department is planning to create a website which should make it possible, using VPN technologies, that people in Europe can see content which, in opinion of the US government, is being “censored” here. I really have to put this in quotation marks, yes. Because what the US government calls censorship is, in Europe, mostly simply illegal – and at least i thing thats correct. We are talking about hate speech, terror propaganda, or in case of Germany also Nazi symbols and so on.
We all know that the right to free speech in the USA is much more, how you say, generously interpreted. But mainly, it will be about money and influence, of course. What else would it be.
J.D. Vance already threatened Europse at last year’s Munich Security Conference that there could be consequences if US companies like X, Meta or Google would be regulated according to existing EU law. Pure blackmail, only for purpose of profit maximisation, because hate speech and outrage keeps us longer on such platforms, and this means more money for them.
Also, the propaganda of extremist parties is widely spread through these channels, which is quite enjoyable fur US rightwingers. And that Donald Trump has no problem with terror propaganda should be well known since the 06 january 2021.
I am honest, I would hope for a strong answer from a strong Europe. Except some countries with completely, lunatics a head of the parlament (i am looking at Hungary, just casually), we should all share more or less the same values, at least in theory.
So why are we not creating freedom.eu for the American people suffering from censorship. There they could inform themselves about modern democracies, the man-made climate change, or about the rights of minorities and marginalised groups like LGBTQIA+. Maybe we also sprinkle some information about public healthcare systems, just for educational purposes. We could also offer books for download which were removed from libraries in recent years by radical evangelicals. And at the end, maybe someone even finds the unredacted Epstein files. There is surely enough which is being kept away from the American people, sadly.
Unfortunately, this will probably not happen. The EU is standing much too much under the slipper of the USA, as one would say.
