The European Commission's coercion of Big Tech to globally censor disfavored narratives goes much further than previously thought, according to a House Judiciary Committee interim staff report released Tuesday that tees up Wednesday's hearing featuring an Irish comedian who was arrested in London for criticizing gender ideology while visiting the U.S.
"Nonpublic" documents given to the committee by companies under subpoena show more than 100 "closed-door meetings" between the European Union's executive arm and tech platforms since at least 2020, the year before the Biden administration started its spree of pressuring platforms to censor supposed misinformation, GOP committee staff said.
