Not So Fast: Jim Jordan Throws Down Gauntlet Against Anti-Free Speech EU

February 10th, 2025 5:14 PM

As Big Tech and the U.S. government take steps away from their past censorship abuses, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) issued a warning to the anti-free speech bureaucrats across the pond. 

Jordan, in a letter to Henna Virkkunen, the new executive vice president of the European Commission (EU), warned that America would not tolerate further European efforts to punish American tech companies for allowing free speech. 

After noting that Virkkunen was in charge of enforcing the EU’s draconian Digital Services Act (DSA), Jordan wrote, “We write to express our serious concerns with how the DSA’s censorship provisions affect free speech in the United States.” He filled the letter with references to past and present EU actions that violate free speech and summoned the European Commission to explain itself to the House Judiciary Committee.
