The Brussels Effect: Exporting Digital Censorship

Show Notes
The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) is presented as a comprehensive digital censorship law, ostensibly designed for online safety, but criticized for targeting core political speech, humor, and satire, even when not illegal. This report uncovers how European regulators leverage the DSA to compel American social media companies to change their global content moderation policies, effectively imposing EU-mandated censorship standards worldwide. With the threat of massive fines—up to six percent of global revenue—and mechanisms like "trusted flaggers" and "voluntary" codes of conduct, the DSA significantly influences online discourse far beyond Europe, infringing upon fundamental free speech principles.
