The European speech police are going after Elon Musk. In anticipation of his interview with former President Trump on X, EU Commissioner Thierry Brenton gave Musk a stern warning that he and his speech police will be “extremely vigilant” in monitoring for “harmful content.”

The Commissioner did say they are targeting content that “incites violence, hate, and racism in the EU.” So the EU policy is that Europeans should not be able to hear what major U.S. presidential candidate has to say? We didn’t know that Trump Derangement Syndrome has migrated like a virus to the other side of the ocean.

These attempts at censorship and regulation have intensified since the EU passed the Digital Services Act (DSA). The EU says:

The DSA regulates online intermediaries and platforms such as marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms. Its main goal is to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation… The roles of users, platforms, and public authorities are rebalanced according to European values, placing citizens at the centre.

What Europe needs is a First Amendment right of free speech. And what we need in America is better safeguards because if Kamala wins, European censorship is coming to these shores.
