US Republicans accuse the EU of 'decade-long censorship campaign'

A new report by US Republican lawmakers alleges the European Commission has orchestrated a "decade-long campaign" to censor political speech globally, including on American soil.

The accusations, detailed in a 160-page interim staff report released Tuesday (3 February) by the House Judiciary Committee, claim that commission officials held over 100 "closed-door meetings" with social media platforms since 2020 "where regulators had the opportunity to pressure platforms to censor content more aggressively."
