As a person living in an EU country I feel the urge to say: the legislation which made them a target is definitely problematic and should never have been passed. If you consider Trumps an extremist wrt censorship, you should be aware that the linked legislation in the article opens up significant more headway for legal censorship then whatever Trump did to date. And the reason why they've most likely gotten targeted is because they tried to deplatdorm him back in 2024 by quoting how he's "amplifying hate" (under this legislation).

Frankly, legislation like this makes me dream about a reality in which there is a real independent federal court going through all passed legislation to verify wherever it's in line with the fundamental rights of the country - and if a legislation fails the check, all who voted yes would then be marked, with repeated offenders being investigated and potentially charged with attempted treason.
