Labour, a bureau within the US State Department, expressing concern about the censorial impact of the Digital Services Act (DSA).<\/p><p>The DSA is an EU regulation that requires online platforms, including US tech companies such as X and Meta, to remove \u201cillegal content\u201d, or risk facing massive financial penalties.<\/p><p>There are concerns it could introduce a \u201clowest common denominator\u201d of censorship, as the most egregious anti-speech laws in any individual EU country could be applied across the region under the act.<\/p><p>Croatian Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Stephen Bartulica, who will speak at the event, said: \u201cPressure against the Digital Services Act is quickly building both inside and outside the European Parliament.<\/p><p>\u201cConcern from the United States, including from their State Department and Congress, over the censorial impact of the DSA should not be ignored by the Commission\u2014the US is a vital ally of Europe.<\/p><p>\u201cThis event will be a crucial part of continuing to build pressure on the DSA. Online censorship in Europe must be rejected. I believe in free speech, not regulated speech.\u201d<\/p><p>Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, and an international human rights lawyer specialising in free speech, who will also speak at the event, said: \u201cThe DSA is one of the most serious threats to online free speech in the digital age.<\/p><p>\u201cThe move towards censorship in Europe through this framework is deeply concerning and must be challenged.<\/p><p>\u201cWe cannot accept a transatlantic divide on free speech, where the US recommits to the protection of this fundamental freedom, while Europe tramples on it. Freedom of expression must be protected and upheld across the globe.\u201d<\/p><p>Another speaker at the event, French MEP Virginie Joron, said: \u00ab\u00a0The DSA has become a tool that elites want to use to control the internet, in a desperate attempt to censor narratives that go against their narrative.<\/p><p>\u00ab\u00a0This truth is becoming increasingly clear to the world. The new DSA regulation must not become a political tool.<\/p><p>\u00ab\u00a0This event comes at an important moment and is a crucial step in the fight against the misapplication of this regulation.\u201d<\/p><p>This week\u2019s conference is being hosted by European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) MEP Mr Bartulica, PfE MEP Ms Joron and ADF International, a Christian legal organisation, with expertise in international law, that defends free speech.<\/p><p><strong>Pressure builds against Digital Services Act<\/strong><\/p><p>The gathering of free speech experts will add to steadily building pressure on the DSA, following a letter <a href=\"https:\/\/europeanconservative.com\/articles\/news\/exclusive-eu-censorship-regime-must-not-chill-american-speech-congressmen-warn-brussels\/\">reportedly<\/a> sent to the European Commission last week by the US House Judiciary Committee, expressing concern over the legislation.<\/p><p>Henna Virkkunen, the Commission\u2019s Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, also <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/news\/executive-vice-president-henna-virkkunen-united-states-high-level-meetings-tech-industry-and\">met<\/a> with Congressman Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in Washington DC last week.<\/p><p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HennaVirkkunen\/status\/1923644011153097181\">post<\/a> on X, she said: \u201cCandid exchange with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jim_Jordan\">@Jim_Jordan<\/a> [Chairman Jordan].\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><p>She went on to claim in the post: \u00ab\u00a0Freedom of speech is a fundamental right in the EU and is strongly protected by our digital rules. Happy to continue our good discussion.\u201d<\/p><p>Earlier this month, the US Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor expressed concern over the censorial impact of the DSA.<\/p><p>The State Department bureau <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StateDRL\/status\/1917926570959765545\">posted<\/a> on X: \u201cThe Department of State is deeply concerned about efforts by governments to coerce American tech companies into targeting individuals for censorship. Freedom of expression must be protected \u2013 online and offline.<\/p><p>\u201cExamples of this conduct are troublingly numerous. EU Commissioner Thierry Breton threatened X for hosting political speech.\u201d<\/p><p>The post continued: \u201cT\u00fcrkiye fined Meta for refusing to restrict content about protests; and Australia required X to remove a post criticizing an individual for promoting gender ideology.<\/p><p>\u201cEven when content may be objectionable, censorship undermines democracy, suppresses political opponents, and degrades public safety. The United States opposes efforts to undermine freedom of expression. As <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecRubio\">@SecRubio<\/a> [Marco Rubio] said, our diplomacy will continue to place an emphasis on promoting fundamental freedoms.\u201d<\/p><p>This Wednesday\u2019s conference is the first of its kind in the European Parliament to focus on the threats to free speech posed by the DSA, offer concrete answers on how to oppose them, and discuss the fundamental importance of freedom of expression for societal flourishing, in that context.<\/p><p>Rod Dreher, an American journalist and bestselling author, will also speak at the event. His books include \u2018The Benedict Option\u2019, \u2018Live Not By Lies\u2019 and, most recently, \u2018Living in Wonder\u2019. He is also a Visiting Fellow at the Danube Institute think tank.<\/p><p>Email contact@adfinternational.org to secure your place at this groundbreaking event.<\/p><p><strong>The Digital Services Act<\/strong><\/p><p>EU politicians have stated their desire for the DSA to \u201caddress\u2019 so-called \u201cmis\u201d and \u201cdisinformation\u201d online\u2014vague and subjective terms, which experts have warned can be used to justify censorship.<\/p><p>The regulation would provide an incentive to and put pressure on tech companies, including American ones, to censor speech, rather than risk massive financial penalties for non-compliance.<\/p><p>There are additional concerns in the US about the DSA potentially having an extraterritorial impact and being used to censor speech inside America.<\/p><p>An attempt at using the regulation to censor speech in the US was seen last summer, when former Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Elon Musk to not breach the DSA ahead of his X interview with then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump.<\/p><p>Find more information on the DSA <a
