"European governments, they argued, have refined a system that avoids the blunt instruments of overt bans while still achieving compliance. [...] Pressure is shifted onto intermediaries, reputations are quietly destroyed, and the costs of dissent are distributed across professional and personal life. [...] "In the UK, police record ‘non-crime hate incidents’ against citizens who have broken no law…When employers fire workers for protected speech, when banks close accounts, when publishers drop authors, when platforms suspend users; the government’s hands stay clean. The censorship happens. The state didn’t do it.” [...] [...] the EU’s censorship campaign is “about imposing European laws globally” and that “hate speech has no real meaning other than speech they hate.” Global companies, seeking uniform compliance, respond by suppressing lawful American speech. As he put it, “speech considered legal in the US” is erased in order to satisfy European regulators.
