A U.S. House Judiciary Committee report published Feb. 3 claims that the European Commission (EC) drove global online censorship by using closed-door regulatory forums and so-called voluntary codes to pressure major technology companies over their content moderation rules.
In the report, the committee, currently controlled by Republicans, accused the EC of conducting a decade-long campaign to influence global online speech in ways that infringe on the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.
