Outsourcing U.S. Censorship to Europe

The article claims that after 2016 U.S. officials and allied nonprofits built a transatlantic system where European and British regulators, courts, and NGOs pressured platforms to remove or demote content that U.S. agencies could not directly censor under the First Amendment. This 'offshore' enforcement then flowed back into American information spaces via global platform policies and moderation tools. — If true, this reframes the censorship debate as a foreign‑assist workaround of U.S. constitutional limits, setting up conflict between the current administration and Europe over who controls the American information environment.
