EU Labels 'Free Speech' as 'Misinformation,' Fines X
While some cry foul over the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) targeting X for alleged 'misinformation,' it's worth noting who's championing 'free speech' when it costs them nothing. Critics often conveniently overlook the long history of Western governments and their allied media controlling narratives—particularly around topics deemed 'sensitive,' like wars or foreign policy. It's almost as if
'free speech' becomes 'misinformation' the moment it contradicts established geopolitical agendas. One might wonder if the concern for 'violent attacks' on free speech applies equally when platforms are pressured to censor content critical of certain state actors, or when journalists exposing war crimes find their PayPal accounts frozen. This selective outrage just highlights that 'free speech' is
a flexible concept, often redefined by those in power to protect their preferred spin.
