This marks the first time a regulatory body has implemented percentage-based global revenue penalties specifically targeting online speech, creating an unprecedented economic incentive for worldwide platforms to restrict religious content. The 6% fine structure against global (not just EU) revenue represents a quantum leap in enforcement capability.

📰 What Happened
The EU's Digital Services Act, effective July 1, 2025, empowers authorities to fine social media companies and internet providers up to 6% of their global revenue for non-compliance with content restrictions. The law requires platforms to enforce EU member states' censorship rules through a new Code of Conduct, potentially affecting content access for users worldwide, including Americans, due to companies' global operations.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The DSA's integration of a mandatory Code of Conduct with global revenue penalties creates a sophisticated system for controlling religious expression that aligns with prophetic warnings. The law's ability to affect content outside EU borders through economic pressure (6% of global revenue) demonstrates how the prophesied worldwide control of religious speech could be implemented through financial mechanisms. The requirement for platforms to comply with all EU member states' restrictions creates a framework for standardized religious censorship that parallels Revelation's warnings about controlled worship systems.
