🚨The EU's Digital Services Act threatens freedom of speech GLOBALLY.
What they say: the DSA prevents the spread of "illegal content" and mitigates "systemic risks to civic discourse".
What actually happens: the EU controls online narratives by forcing the world's largest platforms to censor content that the Commission and a network of nonaccountable individuals and NGOs deem unacceptable.
⚠️The DSA does not protect democracy. It undermines the free exchange of ideas and information on which democracy depends.

Having failed to make “hate speech” an EU crime, the Commission is considering a “Directive on combating online incitement to violence and hatred”.
⚠️Incitement to violence is already a crime.
“Incitement to hatred” has been used in several countries to prosecute and censor peaceful expression.
The risk is clear: under the guise of “inclusion” and “protection”, the directive would be yet another tool to silence disfavoured views and strengthen the DSA’s online censorship regime.
🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law.
The initiative would have placed “hate speech” and “hate crimes” in the same category as human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime.
The proposal required unanimous consent, but several member states BLOCKED the initiative in the Council due to free speech concerns.
This is a major victory for freedom of expression. But the battle is not over yet 👇
Another case is that of Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo, a Christian father who was arrested in 2021 for discussing his faith in a private Facebook group. He then endured 3 years of harsh treatment in prison.
With support from ADF, Abdo was released and safely reunited with his family.

In another case earlier this year, popular Coptic YouTuber Augustinos Samaan was sentenced to 5 years in prison with hard labor for teaching the Christian faith on his channel, which has over 100,000 subscribers. He was convicted under Egypt’s blasphemy law. We are supporting his appeal.

In our letter, we highlighted why it is problematic for @FRB_KBS, which claims to serve “the public interest”, to fund an organisation like Forbidden Colours, which:
⚠️ Conducts research with a highly subjective, unscientific methodology

⚠️ Describes views it disagrees with as a "contamination [that] behaves like a chronic infection that never clears"

⚠️ Attacks many Christian, pro-life and pro-family groups for promoting a biblical worldview held by millions of Europeans (including the late King Baudouin, @FRB_KBS’s namesake, who was a devout Catholic and pro-life monarch)
Demonising legitimate work and widely-held beliefs is not in the public interest. It is a poor use of funds and of free speech.
🚨 Forbidden Colours, whose "Hate Review" amounts to an over 450-page smear campaign against those it disagrees with, has received funding from EU institutions and the King Baudouin Foundation.
Last week, we sent a letter to @FRB_KBS, asking them to publicly distance themselves from the report's biased, dubious findings.
This was their response ⬇️
Nobody should be fired for honestly answering a question — but that is exactly what happened to UK teacher Anita Meston.
During class, a student asked: "Mrs. Meston, do you agree with abortion?"
Anita replied: "No, I'm pro-life."
The next day, she was fired by the school.
During class, a student asked teacher Anita Meston her views on abortion.
Anita simply responded, "I'm pro-life".
The next day, the school fired her.
Anita is taking legal action against the school, with support from ADF.
From @spucprolife:
Sentenced to death for writing song lyrics.
It sounds far-fetched, but it is the tragic reality for Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a young Sufi musician from Nigeria.
He has spent 6+ years in prison, waiting for the Nigerian Supreme Court to hear his case — without freedom to speak, create or know what his future holds.

There is hardly a corner of the world where Christians do not experience persecution.
Christians across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and other regions have faced unimaginable hardships for their faith.
We must tell their stories, pray, and be a voice for them.

🇧🇷 In Brazil, free speech can come with a price. We’ve seen:
Prison threats over social media posts.
Pastors criminalised for teaching their congregations.
Journalists prosecuted for reporting facts.
This is the global censorship playbook: Use harsh punishments to intimidate people into silencing themselves.
From @realDailyWire 👇
🚨5 years in prison for parents under the UK’s proposed Conversion Practices Bill
Children cannot be born in the wrong body and the state has NO business criminalising parents for exercising their responsibility to protect their children.
This bill is a direct threat to the wellbeing of children, parental rights, and freedom of conscience and MUST NOT PASS.
🚨Under the DSA, EU bureaucrats can control what you see online, no matter where you live.
Extremely concerning as Americans approach next week's elections.
Reject censorship. Read more👇
🇪🇬 Christians in Egypt continually face discrimination and punishment for their faith.
6 young Christians were recently detained for more than 2 weeks after posting a TikTok authorities deemed "offensive" to Islam.
They have since been released, but are still facing criminal charges for their post.

‼️ US midterm elections are days away, and European bureaucrats are pressuring the biggest platforms to police the content that Americans can see ahead of voting.
Brussels needs to stay far away from the American ballot box.
