Strange warning abut speech from the EU


He has obviously never heard about the Peace of Westphalia  -- but I guess that 1648 is a long time ago

EU Commissioner Thierry Breton has sent a letter to X CEO Elon Musk, warning him that his forthcoming conversation with U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump could violate the EU Digital Services Act—an Orwellian piece of legislation that authorizes censorship of online content for the usual lying, humbug rationale that has now been normalized in what was once a civilization that valued free speech.

Underlying Commissioner Breton’s letter was his probability assessment that Elon Musk and Donald Trump would, in their conversation, promote hatred, disorder, and incitement to violence. Based on his probability assessment, Breton took it upon himself to warn Musk and Trump that they needed to exercise due diligence in making sure that they did not indulge in such speech.

Given that Breton is not, like Kamala Harris, suffering from a lack of native intelligence, it appears that he has been seized by the Dummheit syndrome described by Bonhoeffer. His letter to Elon Musk may be the stupidest thing I’ve read all year. Given the moronic deluge that pours from the world’s capitals these days, this is really saying something.

I think we settled the whole "free speech" issue sometime around 1790. And as for the EU and their "concerns" - we stopped caring what they thought centuries ago.
