For months now, Team Trump has been targeting Europe’s draconian speech laws, especially the EU’s Orwellian Digital Services Act (DSA). What was sold to the public as “fighting disinformation” is actually another weapon to crush dissent, punish critics, and control political narratives, and the tech sector is—as always—in its crosshairs.

The State Department recently revealed that in Europe, thousands of people are being convicted for the crime of criticizing their own governments. This push to call out “1984 style” tyranny comes as part of Trump’s full-court press against DSA. Team Trump doesn’t see this as a “safeguard” but as a threat to free speech and innovation, especially when it comes to AI.

And that’s where Revolver’s Darren Beattie comes into play.

Fox News:

The State Department’s X post follows a monthslong campaign of Trump officials lambasting Europe for its strict rules that limit free speech – most notably online and in the world of AI and evolving tech.

Fox News Digital spoke with Darren Beattie, acting under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, who explained that as the Trump administration takes a hatchet to restrictions and censorship – most notably online and left over from the Biden era – Europe has moved to intensify its censorship with laws such as DSA.

“As we are rolling back the censorship industry in the United States by actions like what the State Department did, what we did at the State Department killing the (Global Engagement Center), but it’s happening all across the administration,” he said. “What’s happening is Europe, the European Union and the UK are moving to pick up the slack. That is to say, as we’re pushing back the censorship regime domestically, it’s intensifying in Europe.”

The Global Engagement Center was an office established within the State Department during the Obama era that was plagued by accusations of censorship while positioning itself as focused on countering foreign propaganda and disinformation. The Trump administration State Department shuttered the office earlier in 2025.

Beattie added that the U.S. is not taking a “holier than thou” approach to the issue, noting that censorship loomed large throughout the U.S. under the Biden administration. He pointed to cases such as social media user Douglass Mackey, who was convicted in 2023 of conspiring to suppress voter turnout in 2016 after posting phony voting messages.

“We were, under Biden, moving in that direction in a very dangerous way,” he said. “The weaponization of government that occurred under Biden was severe.”

This news also comes on the heels of Darren Beattie’s latest promotion, one that puts him in an even stronger position to challenge the global censorship machine.

Revolver: 

Darren Beattie’s been fighting the global censorship regime for a while now, but his latest promotion gives him even more power to shake up the system from the inside.

Mike Benz took to X, where he spread the news far and wide: Dr. Darren Beattie has officially been tapped to lead the US Institute of Peace, a DC institution that has been accused of shady backroom operations, regime-change meddling, and more than a few quiet coups. Thankfully, with Darren at the helm, that era may finally be coming to an end.

Darren Beattie is the perfect man for this fight. He built Revolver to be the unapologetic, anti-establishment voice of a political generation and a place where truth isn’t filtered, sanitized, or sold to the highest bidder. Now, he’s taking that same fighting spirit to the world stage, pushing back against the censorship regimes that threaten the foundations of free speech. The battle for liberty doesn’t stop at America’s borders, and with Beattie at the helm, neither will the resistance.
