MEP Rob Roos Slams European Commission's Orwellian Threat to Silence Elon Musk's Twitter (Video)

The European Commission’s proposed measures against Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twiiter), ostensibly aimed at combating “disinformation,” have sparked significant criticism, particularly from Dutch politician and Member of the European Parliament, Robert “Rob” Roos. Roos vehemently condemned the Commission’s actions, framing them as a direct assault on democratic values.

Roos’s outspoken criticism came in response to reports that Musk’s Twitter had failed a compliance test evaluating its adherence to EU demands on disinformation as part of the contentious Digital Services Act. Roos lambasted the Commission’s approach, labeling it as Orwellian and emblematic of a broader trend toward censorship within the EU.

“In this Orwellian manner, the European Commission is attempting to snuff out dissent,” Roos declared. “Disinformation has become the latest buzzword of the left-liberal establishment.”

Roos articulated deep concerns over the implications of the Commission’s actions, warning that if allowed, such measures could gravely impact democracy. He emphasized the importance of freedom of expression, portraying it not only as a right but as a fundamental pillar of democracy that must be upheld.

The Digital Services Act, described by Roos as censorious, represents a troubling expansion of regulatory powers that threatens to stifle dissenting voices and undermine democratic values. His critique aligns with broader anxieties regarding the growing influence of regulatory bodies over online speech and expression.

Despite Musk’s efforts to address EU concerns and pledges of compliance, Roos remains steadfast in his opposition to the Commission’s agenda. He underscores the need to resist encroachments on free speech and calls for vigilance in safeguarding democratic principles against censorship and authoritarian tendencies.
