The US State Department has launched a strong campaign against the European Union's new social media regulations, accusing the EU of imposing 'Orwellian' censorship and violating freedom of speech.
The criticism centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims is being used to shield European politicians from public criticism and silence dissent online. This dispute has intensified as both sides prepare for upcoming trade talks, with the US warning that Europe's approach could set a dangerous precedent for free expression globally. The Trump administration's public condemnation marks a significant escalation in transatlantic tensions over digital policy and civil liberties.
The controversy highlights deep differences between US and European attitudes toward online speech regulation.
