⚡️🇪🇺 NEW - The EU's new censorship machine, the "Democracy Shield," will police speech and suppress dissent under the pretext of "defending democracy."

The Shield promotes a Monitoring Centre to address "false content" and "disinformation." Furthermore, a "network of fact-checkers" funded by the EU will verify information. Critics suggest this system will stifle dissent and only perpetuate the EU's own narratives.
