Die USA sanktionieren NGO-Vertreter wegen »Zensur«. Übersetzung: Die Durchsetzung europäischer Digitalgesetze wird als Unrecht umgedeutet. Das ist keine Freiheitsdebatte, sondern ein Framing-Versuch: Recht wird zur Zensur erklärt, Regulierung zur Unterdrückung, staatliche Zuständigkeit zur Provokation. »Zensur« dient hier als politischer Kampfbegriff zur Delegitimierung fremder Rechtsordnungen.

I'd love to get some help from my network here: For a letter I am writing, I am looking for the argumentation that the #US government uses against the #European #DSA . I have seen instances where, e.g. #Rubio and #JDVance state that #FreedomOfSpeech is threatened. Is this the only argument they come up with? I would be interested in links to other arguments they make.
By the way: I do know what the *actual* reasons are for #lobbying against the DSA - I'm interested in their talking points here.

Ah, so we're really aiming for the fall of the Roman empire vibe. #Rubio is such a putz.

Here's Lucas de Groot, maker of #Calibri, on the change.

Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

#Rubio told U.S. officials that the 28-point plan was from #Russia, not the U.S., Politico reports.

This contradicts Rubio’s posts on X saying the plan had U.S. input.

The plan is widely criticised as too favourable to Russia.

If you can't figure out how to protest without blood libel then you're fucking stupid, malicious, or both. 🤨

"The display portrayed #US and #Israeli leaders drinking the blood of #Gazans, echoing the #bloodlibel that has been used against #Jews throughout history.

The #protest featured five prominent leaders in suits wearing masks representing Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, US President Donald #Trump, Secretary of State Marco #Rubio, former President Joe #Biden and former Secretary of State Antony #Blinken.

The leaders were covered in fake blood, sat at a long table set with bloodied doll limbs, glasses of red liquid and plates of what looked like organ meat. They are seen using Israeli flags as napkins as they mop blood from their faces.

A “menu” that was placed next to the table and titled, “ #Israel’s Friendsgiving Dinner,” included items such as “ #Gaza children’s limbs,” “stolen organs,” “illegally harvested skin,” and for a drink, “Gaza’s spilled blood.”

@randahl Rubio has always been an empty suit. I had not realized before this administration what a disgusting human being he was also. May his name be remembered with shame and disgrace. #USPol #Rubio
