‘EU meddled in US elections’: Jim Jordan drops bombshell at explosive House hearing
This video discusses concerns raised by US Republican lawmakers about alleged European Commission interference in global political speech, including in the United States (0:00). A report from the House Judiciary Committee claims the European Commission has engaged in a "decade-long campaign" to censor political speech (0:00-0:25). Key points from the video: Letter to Elon Musk: The video highlights a letter from the European Commission to Elon Musk regarding a planned interview with a US presidential candidate on X (0:00-0:25, 0:54-2:06). The lawmakers view this as an attempt to regulate American speech and interfere with the American presidential election (1:30-1:40). Digital Services Act and TikTok: The European Commission has allegedly pressured social media companies, such as TikTok, to change their global content moderation rules to comply with the Digital Services Act (3:20-3:28). This has reportedly led to the censorship of "true information" and political speech in the US on topics like immigration (4:05-4:10). European Officials' Actions: The video mentions that the Vice President of the European Commission, Vera Gerova, traveled to California to discuss US election preparations with TikTok, indicating interest in both EU and US elections (4:26-4:58). Coercion vs. Voluntary Compliance: The lawmakers argue that while the European Commission claims its censorship requirements are voluntary, internal documents from platforms suggest they "don't really have a choice" but to comply (5:10-6:15). Censorship Progression: The speaker outlines a progression of censorship, starting with specific tweets (7:32-7:43), moving to broader policy changes (7:46-8:02), and now involving foreign governments in impacting American speech (8:12-8:15). Examples include the alleged censorship of a Bible verse posted by a member of parliament and RFK Jr.'s tweet (8:18-8:41). Biden Administration Allegations: The video also briefly touches on allegations that the Biden administration pressured tech companies to censor COVID-19 content, including humor and satire (7:05-7:14).
