The intolerant European Union has passed several oppressive censorship laws under the guise of protecting children. One of them is the Digital Markets Act, or DMA. It is now being expanded to the US Hemisphere.
Brazil’s Digital Markets Act
Brazil’s Digital Markets Act, formally known as Bill 4675/2025 (Brazilian Competition Law), aims to regulate large digital platforms. The alleged intention is to promote fair competition in the digital economy. They said they were inspired by the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
Brazil’s Digital Markets Act, formally known as Bill 4675/2025, aims to regulate large digital platforms and allegedly promote fair competition in the digital economy, getting the idea from the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
They are aiming it at large platforms, in other words, US social media, especially X.
We must keep X. Regardless of its failings at times, it gives us our free speech.
At the US Door
The goal is to expand censorship in our hemisphere. They plan to surround the United States.
Brazil, under Lula, plans digital regulation, allegedly to protect small platforms. No one believes that, no one. The fines will be stiff, up to 20% of the Brazilian turnover.
Brazil’s approach mirrors the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) but is broader in scope, potentially affecting a larger number of companies. While the DMA targets a limited number of “gatekeepers,” Brazil’s bill could encompass hundreds of tech firms, raising concerns about regulatory burdens and the potential stifling of innovation.
They also submitted the Digital Child and Teenager Act, which would set rules for how social-media platforms must manage use of their products by minors.
This is all part of the Digital Brazil Agenda in a country run by a communist.
This hasn’t been decided yet, but it has a very good chance of passing.
Democrats Will Jump on This
Once Democrats get back into office, they will follow suit, and we will lose our free speech.
The most awful people in the world plan to take over the Internet. They are creating a new Digital Markets Superintendency.
President Trump defunded much of the Censorship Industrial Complex, but around the world, its power is growing. Within a few years, the most intolerant people on Earth could control the Internet. This is my warning to the world. pic.twitter.com/cg2UG36Yq1
