The head of the foreign government - Stanford effort to censor social media needs to testify before Congress, says Chairman of Judiciary Committee @Jim_Jordan. Julie Inman Grant, a US citizen, is the head of the Orwellian "Global Online Safety Regulators Network"

"Your expansive interpretation and enforcement of Australia’s OSA [Online Safety Act] —including your claim of extraterritorial jurisdiction to censor speech outside of Australia — directly threatens American speech. "Global content takedown orders are concerning because they harm the free speech rights of those outside of Australia’s jurisdiction and set the precedent that other governments may do the same. "For example, in 2024, your Commission sought to compel X to remove content globally, arguing that its geo-blocking of the content was insufficient because Australians could use VPNs to access the content. Other censorship regimes, like the one in Brazil, have used similar justifications when ordering global takedowns of content and threatening fines for VPN use. "The Committee has also learned that you have colluded with pro-censorship entities in the United States to facilitate Australia’s, and other, global censorship regimes. According to documents obtained by the Committee, you recently gave the “keynote” at a non-public event at Stanford University on September 25, 2025. "Other attendees and panelists included officials from some of the entities with the worst track records of extraterritorial censorship, including the European Union and Brazil. The stated purpose of this event was to 'bring[] together policy makers, academics, and experienced Silicon Valley experts to discuss the state of compliance and enforcement of existing regulations related to online trust and safety.' "Put plainly, the roundtable sought to facilitate cooperation with global censorship by bringing together foreign officials who have directly targeted American speech and represent a serious threat to the First Amendment."
