The US State Department said Tuesday it would deny visas to a former EU commissioner and four others, accusing them of seeking to “coerce” American social media platforms into censoring viewpoints they oppose.
“These radical activists and weaponized NGOs have advanced censorship crackdowns by foreign states — in each case targeting American speakers and American companies,” the department said in a statement announcing the sanctions.
The measure targeted Thierry Breton, the former top tech regulator at the European Commission, who often clashed with tech tycoons such as Elon Musk over their obligations to follow EU rules.
Breton was described by the State Department as the “mastermind” of the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a major piece of legislation that imposes content moderation and other standards on major social media platforms operating in Europe.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on X his country “strongly condemns” the visa restrictions, adding that Europe “cannot let the rules governing their digital space be imposed by others upon them”.
Where do I submit nominations?
A world wide system of censorship: Here is the full length video report into the mysterious ‘Global Disinformation Index’ and how it censors political speech across Europe and the US.
When printing and literacy became widespread, governments controlled publishing with various forms of licensing and prohibition. Same again with the internet. VPNs exist for a reason and that’s why the EUSSR, to begin with, are trying to make them illegal.
But, don’t worry, it’s done to protect you. 🙂
I’m pretty sure EU will ‘retaliate’: they will ‘ban’/restrict undesirables like Marco Rubio and JD Vance if they keep criticizing. UK is already waging a war against Elon Musk, the other 2 EU comrades (France and Germany) will want to catch in stupidity.
That last paragraph sums up the pissing match.
They want to impose rules on the digital space that exists only because of US entrepreneurs and their companies,
The EU trash can go fck themselves.
I’d have a shit-eating grin for a week if the US would start doing this to the Orwellian fcks north of the border.
And the Elbows Up crowd wouldn’t know whether to fart or bake a cake.
Just wait until the Granite Act becomes law in America: https://prestonbyrne.com/2025/10/18/the-granite-act-how-congress-can-strike-back-against-foreign-censors/
Europeans and Brazilians and likely Canadians are about to FAFO.
A beautiful Christmas gift from Trump to all of us! Please do Canaduh next. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Here’s a great video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtBJQJ7pLxk
By the way, it’s weak people who allow this ever encroaching totalitarianism to creep in. Unless dramatic moves like this are made, it never stops, never reverses, only gets worse.
I’ll never forget a longtime friend of mine in Vancouver bragging about how he didn’t like “extremism” and always strove to take the middle road. That’s fine, if both sides are playing fair. But Leftists NEVER play fair. They will not stop unless stopped, which is why middle-of-the road people have become so marginalized and not listened to any more.
Bang on, Robert. As the left moves further and further into insanity, those who wish to be “middle of the road” will find that splitting the difference between normies and the left also moves that “centrist” point further left.
They call us Far Right because we are so far to the right of them that they cannot even hear our positions without erupting into fits of rage. But we have not moved. We have anchors that keep us grounded. For some it is faith, for others reason, for others, heritage and awareness of history. For most, some combination.
The left has no anchors other than hatred of success. So they drift further and further from us.
Those who wish to congratulate themselves as middle of the road, like your friend, are also without anchors, and view their drift leftwards as virtuous, seeing both sides.
In actual fact, they see neither side. Only their own reflections in the mirror.
If they truly saw what the left believes, or what we stand for, they would be forced to make a choice.
Robert, the video you linked about GDI reveals WHERE the censorship is coming from. It’s all coming from the 2sLGBTQueers-mutantIA+/- … community. It seems that the EU, England and International censorship is all centered on “protecting” the mythologies perpetrated by the Queers and a Trannies.
And here is where I remind you that I have been censored … booted off … The Daily Mail and Conservative Treehouse for expressing “anti 2sLGBTQueer-mutantIA+/- sentiments”. For absolutely innocuous statements regarding a lesbian kiss and public school teaching of 11yo boys how to fellatio their gay boyfriend … in graphic detail (that one offended the editors at conservative treehouse).
The 2sLGBTQueer-mutantIA+/- FASCISTS are the ones censoring speech. The “bullied” have become the bullies.
Christ almighty, you never stop playing the victim. Why don’t you actually try to get a life, or does your dotage prevent you from doing so.
Yes, I’ve been victimized by the 2sLGBTQueer-mutantIA+/- mafia on multiple occasions. Censored and Banned … just like this gentleman’s channel was.
Once again, you miss the main point of my comment … that the 2sLGBTQueer-mutant mafia is the primary driver of social media censorship. They cannot stand up to scrutiny or debate.

Sure, whatever Karenji, you should have asked to speak to the manager you poor fragile flower.

It’s going to be a thing of beauty to watch Demon-rats and Lie-berals publicly fight against these sanctions. In doing so, they will literally be fighting against the U.S. First Amendment. But we’ve long known that they don’t believe in Free Speech. Never have, never will. If you see any examples, please share them in this thread or future Reader Tips.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Santa Trump & Santa Rubio & Santa Rogers!!! I seriously couldn’t hope for a better Christmas present than this!

Marco Rubio in essence says; “Hey EU censors … go F()ck yourselves in your faces”
