As US censorship industry collapses, the fight for free speech moves to Europe

President Trump s election has brought about mass layoffs among federal employees and contractors, including some who have sued and others who have protested.

But one group that of America s would-be censors is taking its cause worldwide.

During the Biden administration, a massive industry took root, seeping up billions in taxpayer funds to research, target and combat those accused of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.

Although the exact number is uncertain, many trained censors are now facing unemployment. These self-described disinformation experts  have become the modern equivalent of rMnin, the Japanese samurai who found themselves without a master and wandered the land looking for a new use of their skill set. They are finding precisely that calling in academia, not-for-profit groups and, most importantly, Europe.
