Why do Europeans hate freedom? Tariffs for Truth: Why the U.S. Must Use Economic Power to Confront EU Censorship
Censorship is no longer the domain of dictatorships. In the modern West, it's been repackaged as “content moderation,” buried in bureaucratic language, and enforced by regulatory regimes with transnational reach. Nowhere is this more evident than in the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)—a sprawling regulatory framework that forces platforms to suppress lawful speech under the pretext of safety and misinformation control.
The DSA is more than a European problem. Through the “Brussels Effect,” it extends its reach into American cyberspace by coercing U.S. firms—Meta, Google, X, Amazon, and others—into enforcing European censorship standards globally. What Brussels can’t accomplish through persuasion, it is attempting through economic coercion: obey or be fined into submission.
