Funded by U.S. government grants with our tax dollars

As @JDVance makes the case for free speech in Europe, I want to re-up this FFO report we published this week showing 23 US government-funded orgs & NGOs under the Biden admin that are currently signatory to or literally in charge of directly implementing the EU’s censorship law: https://t.co/UFb53EIMpx

Excerpt:

The American taxpayer is bankrolling online censorship in Europe. Multiple organizations involved in enforcing the EU’s draconian Digital Services Act (DSA), which imposes massive fines on American tech platforms found guilty of carrying “misinformation” or “hate speech,” are American entities backed by American government funding.

• In total, 23 US-funded organizations are involved in the EU’s censorship regime, either supporting it through their signatures, or directly participating in it through the “digital observatory” system. 
• The 23 organizations have collectively received $15,444,695 in government grants and awards.
