The European Union wants to prosecute more people for online “hate speech.”
This week, the European Commission issued a direct challenge to the Trump administration by releasing a sprawling “Anti-Racism Strategy” for 2026–2030. The document heavily prioritizes expanding the policing of “hate speech,” especially online, framing the effort as “Stepping Up Protection Against Racial Hatred.”
Last year, Vice President JD Vance delivered an address to the Munich Security Conference in which he warned, “In Britain, and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.”
