Online platforms have become central to public debate, and the pervasive online censorship in recent years has outraged the American people. Not only have Americans been censored and banned from platforms for expressing opinions and beliefs not shared by a small Silicon Valley elite, but the previous administration actively worked to encourage such censorship.

LOL, a lot of utter bullshit piped straight from Bullshit Mountain there, but the funny thing is, the same "small Silicon Valley elite" helped propagate epic amounts of right wing bullshit and their algorithms throw people down a rabbit hole of white supremacy and conspiracy theories and they did next to nothing to counter any of that.

In addition, that same elite helped to fund Taco.

Lastly, I haven't seen one conservative really deplatformed or "censored" to any extent that actually mattered....but these people will have their panties in a bunch over this same perceived slight just like they are about vaccine and mask mandates, because conservatives are whiny-ass babies.

FFS.

JFC, every stupid fucking grievance from the unhinged right wing is being addressed by this shitstain of an administration.

In practice this guidance is meaningless. If these companies flout laws, they'll be fined or blocked entirely. They also don't want the complexity of two different ways of doing the same thing. So, you know, they'll comply.

So does the DSA take this situation into account? Something like banning products not adhering to it from the EU?
