Dr Frederick Attenborough – The Daily Sceptic Aug 25, 2023
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) comes into force today, obliging “very large online platforms” to swiftly take down what unelected European Commission bureaucrats decide to define as ‘disinformation’.
As Laurie Wastell points out in the European Conservative, the DSA obliges online platforms to swiftly take down so-called disinformation. From today, the EC has at its disposal an aggressive enforcement regime, such that if Big Tech companies fail to abide by the EU’s ‘Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation’, which requires swift censorship of mis- and disinformation, then they can be fined up to 6% of their annual global revenue, investigated by the Commission, and potentially even prevented from operating in the EU altogether.
So, who is to say if something is misinformation? In the case of social media platforms operating within the EU, the EC is the arbiter of that, since it is the Commission that will decide if platforms like X and Facebook are doing enough to combat it. (It is the EU’s executive body, the EC, that is invested by the DSA with the exclusive power to assess compliance with the Code and apply penalties if a platform is found wanting.)
And what kind of speech is the DSA expected to police? The Code defines disinformation as “false or misleading content that is spread with an intention to deceive or secure economic or political gain and which may cause public harm”. That sounds innocent and apolitical enough. Yet the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), which was launched by the EC in June 2020 and aims to “identify disinformation, uproot its sources or dilute its impact”, appears to adopt a much broader, deeply politicised understanding of the term “misleading content”.
Consider, for instance, some of the key “disinformation trends” listed in the EDMO’s recent 2023 briefing on disinformation in Ireland. They include “nativist narratives” that “oppose migration”, “gender and sexuality narratives” that touch on drag queens and trans issues as “part of a wider ‘anti-woke’ narrative that mocks social justice campaigns”, and “environment narratives” that criticise climate-change policies and Greta Thunberg.
Clearly, what is common to such narratives is not that they constitute disinformation in the sense outlined in the Code — that is, “false information intended to mislead”. Rather, they represent opposition by members of the public to unpopular policies favoured by European elites — in this case, mass migration, transgender ideology and Net Zero.
In the words of EC President Ursula von der Leyen, it is vital that companies censor disinformation of this kind to “ensure that the online environment remains a safe space”. Safe for whom, one wonders — politicians or citizens?
Well worth reading in full.

And the same/similar legislation is coming to Canada. The West, NATO, are Satanic Nazis, because their system is in decline, and heading for a massive decline.
For many, many years and fairly recently, I’ve been explaining the consequences of the BRICS, and they’ve just announced a major expansion which clobberes the petrodollar, and much more. This is going to usher in a massive decline in US, UK, and even EU living standards.
You will own nothing and be happy? You will own nothing, be on the hook for staggering debts, and you are going to be very poor.
After what I’ve been saying for a very long time, you can hear it from a UK ex diplomat/spy exactly what I’ve been warning about in the link below.

No, safe for their muzzies and nigger pets. Just one notch added to the genocide of the white race.
This Ursula von der Leyen; she looks White. Is she a race traitorous bitch or a jew posing as White? I’m sure Zuckerberg and so-called Mr. Freedom of speech Musk will go along with the program. All members of the Jewish tribe usually do.
Tyranny by any other name is still tyranny.

Thankfully – if the “Deagel” forecasts for 2025 are to be believed – the EUSSR is “not long for this world”.
Ditto U$$A & ZOGUK.
This further nonsense ought to greatly strengthen the Resistance and bring closer the downfall of the entire rotten order running things.
Decent people with leadership and managerial abilities can be selected and elected by their peers. However, when you have an elite top-down order running things, a class unto themselves, thinking that the world is their oyster, their peers invariably are self-aggrandizers, sycophants, sociopaths and perverts, just like themselves. They also only select weak people from the ranks beneath them for positions of authority, people who are totally compromised and whom they can totally rely on to do their bidding. I have never met any political leader who was a real populist there to serve the people who lasted even two years in office. In the past when I did some lobbying in Ottawa, I never entered such a house of lies and convolutions as the House of Commons, and never did I meet so many shifty people who were “elected”, which is the same which can be said for most people you find in any high office in government. They are all birds of a feather whose lives are filled more with deception than any real substance.
If there is any evil racket in the world, it is government. The only way the so-called “public servants” in it can advance is to create more of it. The EU, the UK, Canada, and the US are classic examples. Like Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks the EU (which itself is hardly a necessary government) will now create an entirely new Department to enforce their new DSA likely having its own investigative agency and police force, with an ever-increasing annual budget starting at about 10 billion Euros.
On another note, the main reason why most of our politicians and government bureaucrats are behind the UN-WEF-NWO agendas is because to them it means not just more government, but an entirely new tier of world government integrating with their own local governments, making everything more top-down, complicated, unwieldly, and expensive, and giving them greater opportunity to bicycle higher and higher into the heaven of officialdom, power, prestige, and absolute corruption with all of the payola and bribe money to come from the other crooks in the global corporatocracy.
As for that pesky matter of suppressing freedom of speech, just as in Canada you can’t have those toilet-paper Charters of Rights and Freedoms tempt the courts to wipe the government asses. No, they need a strong law enforced by their government goons and SWAT squads to swoop down and gather up into the waiting government gulags all those who dare to expose their shitty abuses
Pretty cool eh! Write something on a piece of paper. Have someone considered important sign it.
Voila!!!! New sweeping powers. Yeah baby!
The Globo-Communist BBC has helpfully provided Guidelines today of what stances are permissable in the post-Christian West of anybody still retrograde enough to define themselves as ‘Conservatives’.

YOUSE Gentiles will bend to our will or Ve VILL destroy you!
Climate change is a criminal scam, and they are doing everything they can to stop their stupid narrative from unwinding. Ursula von der Leyen is such an imbecile she probably thinks climate change is real, and with haughty tone of superiorness she defends the state’s lies as fighting disinformation.
Ursula von der Leyen is an arrogant dimwitted dingbat. She also says she is going to making Russia pay for damaging Ukraine. Yeah right. She said just recently Russia was going to pay the EU for rebuilding Ukraine – this is after the EU stole $300 billion in Russian oil trading accounts.

Well Ursula, Russia is going to take Ukraine and they don’t give a shit about what some German zioharlot thinks.
Let me tell you what Ursula von der Kleptokunt, the Russian oil money poaching ringleader is going to do with the $300 billion – they ain’t giving one red cent to Ukraine – which they have already thrown under the bus – they are going to keep it for the failed Euro socialist shithole states that they are flooding with negroids and other multicolor mudbrids – so they can stay in power a while longer.
Ursula should open her own call girl courtesan shop in the back room of EU parliament so her mouth can be put to good use.

Not so fast, EU Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen gets fact cheked by user rated Community Notes on X for her post about the Digital Services Act ..
It’s The Beast, showing it’s power everywhere. Jews, a race that really beasts, in every way, Tares, The Lord Jesus said, are now open and exposing who and what they are.
They are really going to be done in after the Day Of Atonement comes, bringing in the 10 Days Of AWE. The coming of Yahwey will bring in those final days for the Jews!

Jew delicate sensibilities mean nothing in the real world so the jew can’t use safe to justify the self inflicted paranoia they constantly feel.
Under God the Jew can never feel safe and censorship policies like this show that very clearly. What a horrible way to go through life that one has to corrupt and subvert just to get by.
One word describes the Jew and that’s Unreal.
The main purpose of this disinfo policing campaign is to fight the anti-vaxxers in the next phase of Kovid Kill Off.. KKO phase 2
Look at how brazen they were with 911 and the wars
and the Lahaina Holocaust, 1,000 kids missing (burned to ash)
and the $700 payout to the survivors is a simple message, take the money and move elsewhere
the Rotchild killing machine is getting into full gear
So far 500,000 Ukes ethnically cleansed from Ukraine
Jews always need a safe space where WW2 is not discussed knowledgably, because all the rest of the world is a hurricane of “Revisionism”, right? with no Jewish voices allowed
Oh dear Carl is talking about the
Natzi’s again.
when I see this Ursula of the lieing I think
HOW MUCH DOWN BECAME THE BLONDE
GERMAN RACE !
at least her father was a good nazi .
‘Safe for whom, one wonders — politicians or citizens?’
Politicians’ financial backers.
And John Major,Cameron,May,Brown and most of the ministers who served under them!
