Trump Declares War On Euro Censorship Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, As European governments ramp up their assault on online freedom, the Trump administration is striking back hard with Freedom.Gov—a portal designed to equip European and British citizens with tools to shatter digital barriers imposed by overreaching bureaucrats. The move exposes the hypocrisy of so called “safety” laws that geofence truth, forcing websites to block users or demand ID, all while claiming to protect the public from their own thoughts. A growing number of websites have chosen to simply block users rather than comply with arduous censorship demands in response to Europe’s Digital Services Act and the UK’s Online Safety Act, with many more hidden behind government-mandated age-verification making linking a real-life identity to internet use a prerequisite for access. Exclusive: The US State Department is developing an online portal to enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, sources told Reuters https://t.co/IPFDgr54bz — Reuters (@Reuters) February 18, 2026 The U.S. government is launching a ‘Freedom.Gov’ website that will give British and European visitors the tools to access censorship-free parts of the internet they have been geofenced out of by their own governments in the name of public safety. The new initiative is the work of the U.S. State Department and led by Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers, who has been a key figure in bringing President Trump’s message of freedom to Europeans in recent months. Government insiders say the Freedom.Gov portal may feature a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tool to allow European users to bypass domestic controls and claims its use won’t be tracked. A State Department spokesman is quoted as saying: “Digital freedom is a priority for the State Department, however, and that includes the proliferation of privacy and censorship-c...

Morgan Stanley Investment Management is adding to emerging-market bets that are insulated from the artificial intelligence boom as it positions for a potential pullback in the crowded tech trade, according to Deputy Chief Investment Officer Jitania Kandhari . Rising concern over stretched valuations and heavy capital spending by US technology giants has pushed the Nasdaq 100 Index to its first loss-making start to a year since 2022. The unease is echoing across developing markets, where nearly half of a $12 trillion rally since April has been concentrated in AI-linked stocks. Growing doubts about the AI trade leave EM equity portfolios vulnerable to major losses if a selloff does occur, Kandhari said in an interview. She is seeking investments that can outperform — or at least prove resilient — in that scenario. “There are some cracks in the AI consensus,” she said. “You want to make sure you have other themes in the portfolio that are not correlated to AI.” Kandhari said risks to further equity gains include elevated valuations, opaque funding structures, rising capital-expenditure intensity and a lag between adoption and monetization. Rather than taking a binary bullish or bearish stance on AI, she said investors should build portfolios that hedge its weaknesses. In emerging markets , that means increasing exposure to countries and sectors whose stocks are less tied to AI. India and Indonesia, as well as more traditional segments of China’s market, have lagged the broader rally, she said. Frontier economies driven by domestic reforms or balance-sheet repair, rather than global technology flows, also offer opportunities. Kandhari remains bullish on commodities, arguing that AI infrastructure still depends on metals and electrification. “I think a commodity story still has legs,” she said. “Because now, physical AI needs copper, physical AI needs rare earth.” She also favors sectors with limited correlation to AI, including health care, some financial segments, manu...
