It is basically just a proxy. I don't see how censorship could be an antidote to a "subversive political influence campaign" - if anything you're describing censorship

Censoring foreign political influence and misinformation campaigns is just sane policy.

US misinformation is no different from Russian misinformation. freedom.gov is specifically meant to spread this misinfo, freedom of speech is the stated purpose, but if you believe that, you are naive.

This is obviously an influence campaign.

How exactly does a proxy spread misinfo? Also, the project isn't even functional yet and appears to have been blocked to avert piracy

Should the Spanish government decide what is "misinformation"? Should it be forbidden to read false or misleading statements on the Internet?

> Censoring foreign political influence and misinformation campaigns is just sane policy.

That would be true if there were objective definitions of "foreign political influence" and "misinformation campaigns".

But there isn't. One can wave their hands and say any information falls into those categories.

This is of course an influence campaign, just like government ads to get people not to smoke are influence campaigns, but where's the misinformation?
