In May, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and four other congressmen sent a letter to EU Commissioner Michael McGrath. They argued that since the DSA requires platforms to systematically censor “disinformation” and most companies won’t create separate moderation systems for Europe and the rest of the world, the DSA could set de facto global censorship standards, restricting Americans’ online speech.

So there’s the left’s new plan, which is, predictably, same as the old plan: brand its opponents “hateful” and “polarizing,” and silence them accordingly. The chief flagship organizations of the left’s defamation industry, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL, have been smearing patriots in this way for years. Obama wants to follow up these smears with a federal muzzle.
