EU censorship claims in a US House Republican staff report accuse the European Commission of seeking to restrict political speech globally, including in the United States. The allegations concern the commission’s dealings with social media platforms.
What the EU censorship claims allege
The 160-page interim staff report, released by the House Judiciary Committee on February 3, 2026, alleges that commission officials held more than 100 closed-door meetings with social media platforms since 2020.
The report says the meetings gave regulators opportunities to pressure platforms to censor content more aggressively. It alleges that the commission sought to restrict true information and political speech concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, mass migration and transgender issues.
The meeting count and censorship allegations are the report’s claims; the available account does not establish independently what was discussed at the meetings or provide a response from the commission.
