The European Liberal Push To Censor Musk and X

Carlo Fidanza, MEP for the Brothers of Italy Party, criticized EU officials for threatening to shut down X (formerly Twitter) over alleged non-compliance with censorship rules. He condemned the growing calls for online censorship from EU liberals, particularly after EU Commissioner Thierry Breton’s threat to ban X in Europe. Fidanza also accused the contemporary Left of being intolerant to free expression. The Brothers of Italy party also denounced these censorship attempts as attacks on democracy.

Editor’s Note: This contradictory stance undermines the principles of democracy the EU professes to protect. This growing intolerance for diverse opinions, as labeling dissenting views as “misinformation,” becomes an easy justification for stifling free expression. True freedom of speech means allowing all voices to be heard, not just those that align with a particular agenda.

1 thought on “The European Liberal Push To Censor Musk and X

  1. These liberals have every opportunity to refute any alleged misinformation or disinformation posted on X. Is it because they cannot refute the facts and arguments that they will resort to censoring their opponents? Or is it because those who posted on X are always ahead in exposing things that the liberals are so afraid of.
