This is the United States treating censorship as a national security threat. The individuals named and banned are: • Thierry Breton — former EU Commissioner and chief architect of the Digital Services Act, the framework used to pressure U.S. platforms into censoring content • Imran Ahmed — founder of the UK-based Centre for Countering Digital Hate, central to coordinated deplatforming and blacklist campaigns • Clare Melford — head of the Global Disinformation Index, which worked to financially suffocate dissenting media • Josephine Ballon — CEO of Germany’s HateAid • Anna-Lena von Hodenberg — co-founder of HateAid Rubio’s message was unmistakable: foreign actors do not get to coerce American platforms, police American speech, or shape American elections under the cover of “disinformation” policy. For the first time, the U.S. government is openly acknowledging that censorship is not accidental or reactive, but industrialized, coordinated, and transnational. This is America reclaiming its First Amendment sovereignty. This is Trump’s administration drawing a hard line, and it is a direct challenge to a global system of unelected narrative control. This is great news!
