The EU leads the way in sanity and this is why it upsets Trump and co. so much.

The EU leads the way 

in censoring its citizens

-5 ( +3 / -8 )

The EU leads in nothing, It's a lapdog to US, and we're seeing what happens to lapdogs - they can be thrown under the bus. It has destroyed its own economy because it has a big ego while blindly following the Biden regime.

They lead in soon hitting the ground after jumping over the edge.

The EU believes in controlling people and free speech, in the US (at least now and finally) they don't.

Blue states fund the deadbeat flyoevers, so yes, the blue states are needed.

Lol, the EU should criticize the US for trying to control women's bodies and prevent grown women from making their own decisions

4 ( +4 / -0 )

U.S. Vice President JD Vance slammed the DSA during his speech on Tuesday at the AI summit in Paris, saying it was not up to national capitals to "prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation".

Yet that is precisely what the US government is doing by ordering scientists to stop all forms of communication with the public and taking down all the information pages that don't conform with their mistaken and deeply antiscientific view about gender and sexuality.

No, the US government is ensuring that the correct information is disseminated.

No, the US government is ensuring that the correct information is disseminated.

It is not, when something goes against the scientific consensus then it is not correct.

But even if it was, then it is doing exactly what Vance is criticizing, prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation

0 ( +2 / -2 )

It is not, when something goes against the scientific consensus then it is not correct.

This is just a baseless claim and does not relate to the issue at hand.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

This is just a baseless claim and does not relate to the issue at hand.

Of course it is not baseless, the scientific consensus is a perfectly valid argument to consider that something is correct or not, even if you personally have a deep antiscientific bias.

And of course it is related to the issue, your comment makes a completely false claim, the information the US government is censoring is not incorrect, and the reason they give is completely incorrect.

Not to mention that even if correct it would be exactly what Vance is criticizing, something that even you recognize the moment you fail to address this argument.
