The #Trump administration has been accusing the #EU of #censorship via its #DigitalServicesAct, but is any of what they are saying true?

Americans!
Marsha Blackburn, obviously angered by KOSA stalling and wanting to appease Trump and music/movie industry lobbyists, introduced a bill (TRUMP AMERICA AI Act) right before winter recess that does the following:
-Neuters Section 230 by adding a "Bad Samaritan" provision that would make platforms liable for “facilitating or soliciting third-party content that violates federal criminal law.” Section 230 already has an exemption for this!
-Essentially shoves in the NO FAKES Act's provisions of mandating a) taking down speech upon receipt of a notice; b) keeping down any recurring instance—meaning, adopt inevitably overbroad replica filters on top of the already deeply flawed copyright filters; c) taking down and filtering tools that might have been used to make the image; and d) unmasking the user who uploaded the material based on nothing more than the say so of person who was allegedly “replicated.”
-Essentially shoves in all of the harmful provisions in the Senate version of KOSA ("duty of care" and all that).
-Completely upends copyright law by effectively wiping out fair use, creating a new form of copyright infringement specifically for AI-generated works, giving the FTC a role in enforcing copyright law, and revamping how collective licensing works.
In short: It's essentially every bad internet bill rolled into one omnibus bill.
Apparently, our lawmakers can't got more then 5 minutes without introducing more mass censorship legislation. It's full on war of attrition, shove a bunch of shit through in hopes something passes.
Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

Pulled 60 Minutes segment on #CECOT
by CBS
Publication date: 2025-12-22
Topics: 60 minutes, cbs, banned tv, pulled tv
Language: English
Item Size: 1.4G
"This is a screen recording of a 60 Minutes segment about the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison in El Salvador, which was intended to be aired December 22, 2025 but was pulled last minute for unclear reasons. Despite being pulled, it aired on Global-TV in Canada anyway."
USA verhängen Einreiseverbot u.a. gegen zwei Deutsche die sich gegen Hass im Internet engagieren 
Außenminister Rubio unter der Überschrift "Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex" folgendes
"Diese radikalen Aktivisten und als Waffen eingesetzten NGOs haben die Zensurmaßnahmen ausländischer Staaten vorangetrieben – in jedem Fall gegen amerikanische Redner und amerikanische Unternehmen."
Betroffen sind:
- Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization;
-Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index;
-former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
- Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate;
Nach der Attacke durch die GLS-Bank auf linke Strukturen in Gestalt der Kündigung von Bankkonten, folgt nun einen weitere Maßnahme des Versuchs der Einschüchterung, wobei Einreiseverbote mutmaßlich nur der erste Sdhritt sein dürften. Dass die USA auch ehemalige und politisch gut vernetzte EU-Kommissare ins Visier nehmen, sollte allen klar machen, dass die US-Regierung jede und jedem mit Maßnahmen überziehen kann und wird, derer sie namhafr wird.
Dir AfD baut ihre US-Kontakte aus und es darf unterstellt werden, dass die AfD willige Zulieferung von weiteren Namenslisten ist, von Personen die sie gerne sanktioniert sähe.

This is what civil society, in particular the #DigitalRights community, is up against now: #Trump has barred leaders of @hateaid, the Global #Disinformation Index, and the Centre for Countering Digital Hate from entering the US. Expect more restrictions, threats, and intimidation against public-interest NGOs globally.
I mean all seriousness aside, should I feel insulted that I'm not on this list? I've been part of the Global #Censorship-Industrial Complex™️ for years now how does Trump not recognise the crucial role I play in oppressing Americans worldwide !!1!
