First, the goal of #DSA and #OSA isn't censorship. Ironically, that's misleading. The goal is to understand and prevent systemic risks to society from large online platforms, such as Facebook and X, by enabling research of systemic risks, e.g., disinformation.

Second, community notes can be designed to be effective and impartial at identifying false claims, but would we be able to independently verify that? #DSA was created to enable researchers to address such tasks, but Zuckerberg seems to oppose it now, misnaming to it as "censorship". 4/5

Meta joins X in coercing the EU to let them operate without any oversight. A few months earlier, the US threatened the EU to veto NATO if the EU regulates misinformation on X! If #DSA is affected, we may be unable to tell the effect of online platforms on our societies and democratic elections. 5/5

could you point me to where i can find details on "US threatened the EU to veto NATO if the EU regulates misinformation on X"?

Sure, thanks for asking. To be precise, it was JD Vance who communicated that, who is now the US vice president-elect. I wrote "the US" due to space constraints:
