US Sanctions Europeans for 'Censorship' While Funding Its Own
According to RT, the US Undersecretary Sarah Rogers defended sanctions on five Europeans, alleging online speech suppression. This comes from an administration that actively pressured social media companies to remove content during the pandemic (e.g., the Twitter Files revelations) and continues to fund initiatives like the Global Engagement Center, which works to combat 'disinformation' online.
The hypocrisy here isn't just glaring; it's blinding. When the US government engages in 'counter-disinformation' efforts, it's called national security. When other nations do it, suddenly it's censorship worthy of sanctions. One might wonder if their definition of free speech only applies when the message aligns with Washington's dictates. It appears censorship is only bad when performed by
someone else.
