The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law. Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world.

Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition. Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election.
To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of “digital service coordinators” in each of the EU’s 27 member states, are empowered to ensure compliance with the law. Each coordinator has the power to request data from and impose fines on online platforms in the event of non-compliance.

We got embroiled in three wars (the first of which was to establish a nation founded on principles diametrically opposed to what the EU is doing here) due to the machinations of 'elites' on that continent.
They're pointing at the Russian boogieman while at the same time trying to enslave their own people. And God forbid the Islamists have that tool available if they ever get the upper hand (the only silver lining is that the same 'elites' imposing this will be the first to perish if such a thing happens, except for the bootlickers).
And don't think for a moment the EU won't try to dictate to American companies and try to enforce the same in the United States.
Somebody got to X.

Big Tech are going censorship of such stuff
Use an analogy: a person recording police activity can do so in a publicly aggressive manner using the camera a kind of civil weapon, or completely opposite, the camera can be used in as surreptitious manner possible with a kind of lateral periscope (imagine the camera that recorded the original Rodney King beating being used as a civil defiance statement and involving the recordist in the conflict itself).
By the same token, the use of Pretty Good Privacy for secretive peer-to-peer communications (it could get you killed by the U.S. military as in anti-Islamist operations if the secretiveness were detected), is completely opposite the use of social media as a personal propaganda platform to leverage its ability to speak to as many people as possible.
The EU (eeuuwww!) cannot use such AI censorship to go after private citizens engaging in secretive information communications—you could use a legal pad away from any phones, outdoors away from any bugging to communicate forbidden knowledge.
Recall that Facebook arose out of a DARPA project that was closed the day Facebook opened, that the Facebook founders received government grant monies, that Facebook was conceived as a way to record everyone’s everyday interactions from a time when the technical basis for such surveillance was just beginning—Facebook was a spook operation from the birth date of social media.
Control of intimate musings such as 1984’s Winston Smith jotting down “Down with Big Brother!” is not yet possible, though with self-replicating graphene nano-particles in vaccines to make us data transmitters in “the internet of bodes”, that seems certainly to be the end-goal.
The intent of the DSA (Digital Services Act) is to control all free speech, and eliminate any opposite viewpoint or discussion,
using "trusted flagers" for total government control of free speech and political opposition.
It is a means of securing : "One Think"
(From the article) :" The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law.
Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world."
"Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition.
Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election."
" To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of “digital service coordinators”
in each of the EU’s 27 member states, are empowered to ensure compliance with the law.
Each coordinator has the power to request data from and impose fines on online platforms in the event of non-compliance."
"..Additionally, the digital service coordinator can certify outside organizations as “trusted flaggers” who are “experts in detecting,
identifying and removing illegal content,” a massive win for the vast international network of NGOs, university
“disinformation monitoring” hubs, and private companies that make up the censorship-industrial complex. "
I got a permanent ban from Twitter for telling Gov. Sisolak to repent on his abortion tweets and sharing about SRA/ MKUltra, as well as shadow banned on social media. Forget talking about the SSP, cloning or “skin suits.” If the stuff isn’t on one’s radar already, who will enlighten them? The elite like growing mushrooms.
Yep - they make sure the truth is suppressed
This was even written in the Scriptures oh so long ago...
I can clearly see where the Internet is going - that’s why I do what little I can do NOW - the days truly are evil
