people presently in charge of White House or State Department policy on this,

The EU Digital Censorship Act, technically called the Digital Services Act, has to be stopped through whatever diplomatic means necessary to stop it because it will absolutely destroy freedom of speech in this country as we know it, as Americans will not be allowed to talk to Americans about topics that a foreign regulatory body calls, in its sole discretion, disinformation unless you stop it.

Every U.S. ambassador in Europe has to apply carrots and sticks pressure. The U.S. ambassador to the EU has to apply this pressure. The U.S. ambassador to NATO has to apply adjacent pressure. The White House has to. This thing is one of the craziest assaults on free speech in America our country will ever experience. And I should note, USAID and our foreign policy blob made this happen.

In fact, my foundation's publishing this report. 19 U.S. government-funded... entities are signatories and nine of them are helping implement this very EU code of practice doing this. That's a full 20% of the signatories are from the US government and most of the major ones that have a lot more clout.

The critical node is coming from inside the House because the Biden White House actually had a formal policy goal. It's Information Integrity Working Group, which is something that I've now published. It's on our foundation's website to get Europe and help Europe pass this thing and tighten the disinformation regs.

USAID had a formal program through CEPS to help the EU and other countries pass disinformation laws because the First Amendment wouldn't allow it. So they're working with the international partners.

I support the White House's current reforms. I do believe fundamentally and if nothing else, symbolically, the complete and total abolition of USAID, uh, alone sends a chilling message to not do this kind of dirty work in the future if you ever begin to look like the former disgraced, folded-up USAID. You can imagine whatever form USAID takes in the future, whether they call it U.S.

OOD or whether it's the Bureau of International Development at State, people are going to be tempted to do this. We have... This is like... God and the devil. This is like, there's an eternal struggle here. And sometimes the moral area can look great. Sometimes different elected governments are going to have different defined national interests about what governments to deploy US soft power in.
