I remember thinking last year that this was one of the most chilling letters I’d ever read. It treats freedom of speech as merely one factor to be weighed in the balance against “detrimental effects on civic discourse and public security.” And the letter was targeted specifically at a conversation on this very platform between @elonmusk, an American, and @realDonaldTrump, also an American then running for the US Presidency. When the letter talks about “content that may incite violence, hate and racism in conjunction with major political—or societal—events around the world” in this context, it’s talking about core political speech. More than any other document I’ve ever read, this letter bares the fangs of the global censorship-industrial complex and underscores that unelected bureaucrats in the EU are ready, willing, and able to use their regulatory reach to try to influence elections and nullify the First Amendment in the US. When I wrote earlier this month about the glaring inconsistency between US relations with the EU and NATO, this is exactly what I had in mind. If the sovereign nations of Europe allow the EU to attack fundamental freedoms in the US, those same nations cannot expect the US to defend fundamental freedoms in Europe.















Rest easy, Charlie. Thank you for showing a lost generation that it’s okay to love your country. Now it’s our turn to keep fighting. 🇺🇸
