EU’s Digital Services Act Threatens to Censor Americans on Social Media

July 10, 2025 Adina Portaru via The Daily Signal 0
The Digital Services Act compels very large online platforms—think Facebook, YouTube, and X—to remove so-called illegal content without delay. The problem? “Illegal” is defined not by clear, fixed principles, but by a moving target: whatever violates the law of any EU member state, now or in the future.

Obama wants to follow up these smears with a federal muzzle.

How the “Mary Poppins of disinformation” came to alight upon Europe is a familiar tale. The European Union has become the global hub for censorship efforts and, after she departed from the government, Jankowicz made a beeline for Europe. I have been a long critic of Jankowicz, who became an instant Internet sensation due to a musical number in which she sang “You can just call me the Mary Poppins of disinformation” in a TikTok parody of the song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” After the Biden Administration reluctantly disbanded her board, she later moved to join a European group as a foreign agent to continue her work to block views that she considers disinformation.
