The U.S. State Department has launched a strong campaign against Europe's new regulations on online speech, particularly targeting the EU's Digital Services Act.
American officials argue that these rules amount to 'Orwellian' censorship, claiming they suppress criticism and limit free expression on social media. The dispute has escalated as both sides prepare for upcoming trade talks, with the U.S. warning that Europe's approach could serve as a negative example for the rest of the world. European officials, meanwhile, defend the regulations as necessary for public safety and combating harmful content.
The clash highlights deep transatlantic differences over the balance between free speech and online regulation.
