On Sept. 10, Charlie Kirk was assassinated for exercising that freedom. A week later came Constitution Day, marking the anniversary of our national charter’s completion. Four years after that completion came the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment and its protection of free speech. We may have separated from Great Britain to prioritize individual liberty but as a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing explored, developments there could still undermine the freedom of speech here.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has repeatedly called on European leaders to soften or drop enforcement of the DSA in their negotiations over Trump’s proposed tariffs.

Recent court hearings revealed that officials had stated that the real purpose was “not primarily aimed at … the protection of children”, but regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse”. There’s only one kind of censorship the British government is really into. Rather than blocking pornography, the Online Safety Act was used to block videos of parliamentary debates about the Muslim sex grooming gang crisis in the UK. Not only wasn’t the Online Safety Act protecting children from being exposed to sexual content, it was being used to censor revelations about the complicity of the authorities in the sexual abuse of children.

“As the Supreme Court reaffirmed in 303 Creative, the government can’t force Americans to say things they don’t believe,” declared ADF Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart. “The U.S. Constitution protects Emilee’s freedom to express her own beliefs as she continues to serve clients of all backgrounds and beliefs. New Yorkers can now enjoy the freedom to create and express themselves, a freedom that protects all Americans regardless of their views.”
