A host of major social media platforms made a disturbing capitulation to European Union censors.
The day President Donald Trump took office, the European Commission announced that many tech platforms, including X, Facebook and YouTube had agreed to a “Code of conduct+” that pushes signatories to censor users. The code requires the platforms to allow busybody nonprofits and government agencies to flag content and monitor how the companies review hate speech notices. Platforms must also respond to at least two-thirds of the censorship notices raised by these monitors within 24 hours of receiving them.
