What is the biggest threat facing free speech in 2025? Mike Benz says it’s the European Union

Mike Benz, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, says the biggest threat facing free speech in 2025 will be the European Union’s mounting pressure against U.S. Big Tech and social media platforms. “We’re now hearing that there may be up to a 10% global revenue tax on social media companies from the U.K. on top of 6% from the EU,” he says.
