Probably because the admin has been vocal and proactive about extraterritorial overreach by European countries hellbent on global censorship programs.

The UK has thrown thousands of people in jail for speech on social media, as has Germany. Both of those countries also attempt to censor speech OUTSIDE of their own countries too.

They are certainly very active in the subject, although judging by the last week, they are not really against it in every case

That is just not true, is it. No matter how many times you say it

There are no "European Global Censorship Programs".

Maybe try to get your information elsewhere than Fox News (based on the Nonsense in all your recent comments)

Not true… and those that were jailed were convicted for inciting racial hatred and most of them admitted the offence
