The War on the Internet
Europe is moving quickly to censor free speech in the West, and especially towards censorship of American free speech. They formed a coalition in 2015 to silence free speech in the West. This is the Western Industrial Censorship Complex.
Censorship is evil and authoritarian.

Spain’s Radical Censorship
Spain’s communist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, says Spain will criminally target platform executives, ban social media for children under 16, pursue probes of various platforms, and build a European coalition to enforce tougher social media rules.
The coalition already exists as the House Judiciary report explains below.
This follows France’s summoning of Elon Musk and the raiding of X’s Paris offices.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez just declared war on the open internet. Under the guise of “safety” and “accountability,” his government is launching a full-scale assault on free speech, specifically targeting platforms that refuse to bend the knee to state-approved narratives.
In a direct hit to the “freedom of reach,” Spain will now criminalize the amplification of content the state deems “illegal.” This gives the government the power to dictate how software is written. If an algorithm happens to show a truth that makes the ruling party look bad, it’s a “criminal offense.”
Under the pretext of “protecting the children,” Spain is banning anyone under 16 from social media and demanding “real barriers” for age verification. This is a massive Trojan Horse for a National Digital ID. To “save the kids,” Sánchez is effectively demanding that every Spanish citizen hand over their private biometric or legal data just to scroll a feed.
He has also vowed to make platform executives like Elon Musk legally accountable for what users post, effectively holding tech leaders’ personal freedom hostage. It’s a transparent attempt to force Silicon Valley (and Austin) to build “kill switches” for any content the Spanish government doesn’t like.
Sánchez dropped the mask at the end, specifically naming Grok, the one AI committed to the unvarnished truth, alongside TikTok and Instagram for investigation.
