We are deeply concerned by the findings in the House Judiciary Committee's interim report, led by Chairman @Jim_Jordan, exposing the EU's misuse of the Digital Services Act (DSA) as a tool for censorship. The report reveals how the DSA pressures tech companies to alter their global content moderation policies, effectively exporting EU standards to the US and beyond – threatening free speech worldwide. The classification of relatively benign political statements – such as “We need to take back our country” – as “illegal hate speech,” raises serious questions about the extent of its application. The DSA’s heavy hand targets humor, satire, and personal opinions on issues concerning immigration and the environment. The apparent one-sided enforcement of the DSA involves third parties like "trusted flaggers" and “fact checkers” with conflicts of interest and likely political  biases, which can stifle discourse, democratic debate, and the exchange of diverse ideas across the globe. At X, we are committed to safeguarding freedom of expression, and resisting regulatory overreach that imposes censorship on platforms and our users.
