Elon Musk Battles Back Against the Imposition of Regulatory Restrictions Constricting Freedom of Expression on the Internet Required by the UK NGO, CCDH and EU Through the all Embracing Digital Services Act

CCDH to shut down X”

“killing” the X platform under Elon Musk was the top agenda item and included reference to a “meeting with 16 congressional officers … to give updates on an Elon lawsuit” which accused the CCDH organization of manipulating data to claim that X hosted hate speech.

Tactics discussed included CCDH’s possible contact with Thierry Breton, then-European commissioner for internal market and services. The French politician and former business executive had singled out Musk for attack during his time as a senior official with the EU in Brussels.

Breton had reiterated in a letter in 2022 that Musk had a “legal obligation” to censor “harmful content” on X. and would need to operate within the EU rules.

CCDH’s founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, chief of staff to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and an advisor to the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris.

CCDH also maintains ties to key Democrats, including U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.”

“The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s “Labour Together” political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Harris and [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz, leading to a general acceptance that Labour and the Democrats are now formally “sister parties.”

Eon Musk Battles Back Against the Imposition of Regulatory Restrictions Constricting Freedom of Expression on the Internet Required by the UK and EU Through the all Embracing Digital Services Act

The European Union is poised to impose a fine exceeding $1 billion on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, for alleged violations of the Digital Services Act (DSA), marking a significant escalation in EU’s digital regulation efforts.

X is accused of refusing to share data with external researchers, lacking transparency about advertisers and verified accounts, and adopting a lax approach to content moderation, which the EU argues makes the platform susceptible to abuse and foreign interference.

The core of the dispute lies in X’s commitment to free speech and minimal moderation, clashing with the EU’s stringent regulatory approach that emphasizes centralized moderation and data transparency.

Elon Musk has vowed to fight the EU’s ruling in court, framing the potential fine as an act of political censorship and an attack on free speech. He accuses the EU of using the fine as a political tool and criticizes the DSA as a source of misinformation.

Conclusion

As the EU prepares to levy a potential $1 billion fine against Elon Musk’s X, the stakes are high. The case is not just about one platform or one billionaire; it is about the principles of free speech, the role of government in regulating the internet, and the future of digital discourse. The coming months will reveal whether the EU’s regulatory muscle can bend one of the world’s most influential tech platforms to its will, or whether Musk’s defiance will spark a broader movement against what he and his supporters see as an overreach of power.
