The US State Department has sharply criticized European governments for their increasing regulation of social media and online platforms, accusing them of undermining free speech.
American officials argue that Europe's approach amounts to 'Orwellian censorship' and warn that such measures could set a dangerous precedent for other democracies, including the United States.

The controversy highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance public safety with fundamental rights in the digital age.
