President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr called on tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Google to push back against European censorship on Friday, per a Fox News report. Speaking at a CPAC panel, Carr accused the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) of stifling free speech, urging U.S. companies to resist regulations he labeled “anti-American,” per the February 28 story. For conservatives, this is a bold stand for liberty, proving Trump’s America First agenda will defend free speech against globalist overreach.
Carr, appointed FCC chairman in November 2024, per the Washington Post, criticized the EU’s DSA for fining platforms up to 6% of revenue for “hate speech” or “disinformation,” per NPR’s April 2023 report, arguing it targets conservative voices. He urged tech leaders to “stand firm” against EU pressures, per Fox, citing Elon Musk’s X as a model for resisting censorship, per Carr’s February 28 remarks.
“The EU’s censorship regime threatens American free speech,” Carr said. “Our tech companies must push back, not comply with foreign rules that silence patriots.”
His call follows Trump’s January border policies, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.
“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”
Posts on X cheered—one user wrote, “Carr’s right—EU censorship kills speech—Trump’s FCC is fighting back.” Another added, “Biden let globalists run wild—Trump’s fixing it with freedom.”
Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s open borders let 8.5 million illegal immigrants cross, per CBP, while deficits pushed the national debt past $35 trillion, per Treasury data. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, Title 42 revival, and DOGE’s $55 billion cuts signal the fix—secure borders, protect speech, and prioritize Americans. Carr’s push aligns with last week’s NYC partnership with Trump on immigration, per Fox, showing national focus.
The left’s crying foul, with Senate Democrats and EU officials calling Carr’s stance “reckless” and vowing retaliation, per a Friday AP report. Too bad—conservatives see this as a defense of liberty, not risk. Legal challenges loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Friday block on Education records—but Republicans aren’t deterred. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring America’s speech stays free, as voters demanded in 2024.
Carr’s critique, per the Post, builds on his 2024 Project 2025 plan, per Heritage Foundation, targeting Big Tech’s “censorship cartel,” per Fox, citing EU fines on X for “hate speech” posts, per Reuters’ August 2024 report. His push aligns with Trump’s January EO ending DEI mandates, per Breitbart, resisting EU’s “woke” rules, per Carr’s CPAC remarks. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show the state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives are ready to defend this stance, ensuring America leads in free speech against globalist threats.
This defense is a historic victory for America, protecting our speech rights from European overreach under Trump’s bold vision.
