🚨The EU's Digital Services Act threatens freedom of speech GLOBALLY.

What they say: the DSA prevents the spread of "illegal content" and mitigates "systemic risks to civic discourse".

🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law.
