The U.S. State Department has sharply criticized Europe for its recent regulations on online speech, particularly targeting the EU's Digital Services Act.
American officials claim these rules amount to 'Orwellian' censorship, arguing that they suppress free expression and shield politicians from public scrutiny. The criticism comes amid reports that thousands in Europe have faced legal consequences for online criticism. The U.S. warns that such measures could set a dangerous precedent for free speech globally.
This escalating dispute highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance online safety with freedom of expression.
