Europe's Free Speech Failure and the "Censorship Industrial Complex" with Sarah B. Rogers
Sarah Rogers, newly appointed Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, is prioritizing a global mandate to counter malign information and challenge European regulations like the UK's Online Safety Act and the EU's Digital Services Act, which she argues infringe on First Amendment rights through excessive speech criminalization. She contends that these frameworks function as censorship tariffs designed to extract revenue from American tech firms and notes that the Biden administration previously leveraged disinformation labels to suppress pandemic-related truths. In response to this regulatory divergence, the State Department is deploying sanctions and diplomatic pressure against foreign officials and intermediaries while advocating for community-driven moderation tools to preserve free expression in the digital ecosystem.
