Who gave unelected eurocrats or billionaire techbros the right to censor the internet and decide what is "disinformation"?
The European Commission commissioners are confirmed by the EP.
If they are unelected, so is every government minister of every member state. This “unelected eurocrat” rubbish is stale disinformation.
Better remove it.
That is the only part of the above post that is wrong, though. Governments have no business deciding what is "disinformation", much less to censor such.
They own the websites, so of course they get to censor them.
