TURLEY: 'HILLARY GOT THE CENSORSHIP REGIME STARTED' (TELEGRAM CEO ARRESTED IN FRANCE)

8/27/24 -- Constitutional Scholar Jonathan Turley Slams ‘Global Censors,’ Says Americans Should Be Afraid After Telegram Founder’s Arrest

George Washington University (GWU) law professor Jonathan Turley slammed “global censors” Monday morning on “Fox and Friends” following the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov.

French authorities arrested Durov, the billionaire creator and messaging app CEO, on Saturday, the Russian Embassy in Paris confirmed, according to Bloomberg. Turley told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that he still opposes Durov’s arrest even though authorities allege Telegram was employed for criminal behavior.

Turley related the issue to when European Commissioner for International Markets Thierry Brenton warned Elon Musk that his social media platform X must comply with the EU’s digital free speech and disinformation laws in a letter ahead of Musk’s interview with former President Donald Trump on Aug. 12.

“And this is a global effort to control speech, and so — it’s hard to be sympathetic with some Russian billionaire, right? That’s not exactly somebody that you rally to the park to defend. But he’s being charged with misconduct of others using his site,” Turley said of Durov’s arrest. “It’s like arresting AT&T’s CEO because the mob used a telephone to do its business.”

“And the question for American citizens is whether we’re going to allow these global censors to basically control speech from Europe. Free speech is in a free fall in Europe,” he continued. “It was no accident when Elon Musk bought Twitter, figures like Hillary Clinton almost immediately went to Europe and called on them to use the DSA. Consider that. To use the DSA to censor American citizens. That’s a former presidential candidate calling for censorship through these officials.”

2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton promoted the DSA in April 2022, the same month Musk initiated his acquisition of Twitter.

“Well, you know, the important thing here is that we can arrest people for engaging in conduct. If you’re using the telephone or you’re using social media to engage in human trafficking or child pornography, of course you can be arrested. But what the complaint is against these social media companies is that they’re not doing enough content moderation, and of course they emphasize things like child pornography. But you’ll notice they’re also talking about ‘extreme viewpoints,'” Turley continued, noting that the UK was cracking down on “what they consider to be ‘extreme ideology.'”

“Well, who defines that?” he asked rhetorically.

“So there’s a very dangerous slippery slope that comes from these laws, and American citizens should not be distracted from the implications of things like the DSA,” Turley said. “This is an important fight, and Americans’ rights are at stake here. Don’t be distracted. This Russian billionaire might not be sympathetic to you, but they’re using something that should scare you.”
