In The European Conservative, John Rosenthal warns of a broadening European censorship complex that’s attempting not just to muzzle Europeans or control American tech platforms operating in the EU, but is going after the free speech of Americans in the U.S. Rosenthal profiles HateAid, a supposedly “independent” outfit that operates as “trusted flaggers” of suspect content for tech platforms, but is in fact supervised by government, funded by government and staffed by people with deep ties to the EU superstate.

One sign of success: China is measurably bleeding in its manufacturing output.
