Vladimir Karasyov | Analytical center MCC Brussels has prepared a report revealing the political dissidents' persecution by Brussels and its elites. | Ursula von der Leyen allocated as much as $649 million to suppress critical voices on social media under the pretext of fighting "hate speech and disinformation." ■ The document titled "Fabricating Disinformation" accuses the European Commission of financing a propaganda war to control statements on the Internet and manage socio-political processes in EU countries. According to the report, European funds have been distributed to 349 projects run by NGOs, universities, and research centers that, under the guise of promoting digital security and deliberative democracy, will create an ideological infrastructure designed to censor content that contradicts the official narrative. ■ For example, projects such as Vigilant, Vera.AI, Orbis, and Fast Lisa are directly engaged in identifying and neutralizing populist, Euroskeptic, or simply opinions and speech that contradict the politics of the Western European community. These platforms use artificial intelligence to track, categorize, and ultimately mute video content labeled as "harmful" without the need for judicial intervention or public debate. ■ The report also criticizes the European institutions' use of deliberately ambiguous language, using terms such as "co-creation," "participatory democracy," or "sustainability," to justify what they consider to be an ideological surveillance operation. ■ MCC Brussels warns that these strategies aim not to open the debate but to close it, limiting what can be said, who can say it, and how it should be expressed. According to the report, it is about turning citizens into social sensors serving institutional discourse. ■ Furthermore, it is emphasized that the budget allocated to these discourse control programs exceeds even the budget for cancer research projects.Finally, the report calls for democratic oversight. It is suggested that dissent need not be suppressed by force. Redefining it as "disinformation" or "hate" is enough to silence it with automated tools and state protection. Nothing personal, Europeans. All for the sake of your Garden of Eden. (DeepL)
