The European Commission is planning a full-scale attack on press freedom and free elections: Through the European Democracy Shield, it aims to reshape the media landscape and eliminate new media from market. May thanks to
@shellenberger for publishing my research on his website:

The measures under the Democracy Shield would result in censorship and create a network of state-run media:
▶️ The EU plans to pump billions of euros of taxpayers’ money into selected media outlets, creating a network of state-run media to spread government narratives.
▶️ State-selected and state-funded media outlets are to act as fact-checkers, creating an „archive of truth“ and working directly for EU authorities, especially during elections.
▶️ With new laws, the EU aims to gain control over algorithms and decide what appears in feeds.
▶️ Unwelcome media outlets are to be demonetized while political influencers are to be regulated in the name of supposed child protection.
