🚨 President Trump just declared war on EU and UK censorship. His latest directive orders a crackdown on foreign Digital Services Taxes (DSTs) AND the speech-policing laws that come with them.
The White House is targeting the EU’s Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, arguing they don’t only rob US companies—they force them into compliance with European censorship rules. If these policies hurt American business or free speech, tariffs are on the table.
"America’s economy will not be a source of revenue for countries that have failed to cultivate economic success of their own." This is about more than taxes—it’s about stopping foreign governments from dictating what people can say online. Buckle up. 🚀 https://m.primal.net/PJxI.jpg

🚨 New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed a controversial "online safety" law that opens the door to state-backed censorship.
The bill mandates social media platforms disclose policies on "hate speech" and report to the Attorney General. Supporters claim it tackles "disinformation" and identity-based harm; opponents argue it’s a blatant First Amendment overreach.
Assemblymember Grace Lee invoked COVID-era "misinformation" as a justification, while Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal tied it to January 6. But these talking points frame speech regulation as public safety, not the suppression it is.
A federal judge already struck down Hochul’s last attempt to police "hateful conduct," ruling it compelled speech and chilled free expression. This new law doubles down on the same vague, dangerous definitions of "hate." https://m.primal.net/NKrY.png

Ireland is about to implement its biggest attack on free speech in decades.
The country is pushing into new regulatory territory with its Online Safety Code, starting in November and in full swing by mid-2025. This Code, led by Ireland’s media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, will effectively let Ireland control what’s allowed across Europe’s major online platforms headquartered on its soil.
The rules ban a vast range of content deemed "harmful"—even if it’s not technically illegal. And yes, that includes a bold step into mandatory age verification/digital ID on some sites. Think Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and others. Comply or pay up: fines hit at $21.6 million or 10% of global revenue.
Ireland’s approach here sidesteps the usual democratic process—parliament approval isn’t required. Critics argue this is regulatory overreach without a democratic mandate. And it could get murkier: disinformation isn’t currently part of the "harmful content" umbrella, but regulators aren’t ruling out adding it.
Thanks to the EU’s Audiovisual Media Services Directive, Ireland’s regulations have a ripple effect on online content across all 27 EU countries. If the precedent sticks, digital oversight in the EU could shift dramatically, with Ireland at the wheel.
