The US State Department has launched a strong campaign against the European Union's new social media regulations, accusing them of violating free speech and engaging in 'Orwellian' censorship.
The criticism centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims shields European politicians from public criticism and criminalizes dissent online.

The EU, meanwhile, defends its regulations as necessary for combating harmful content and protecting users.
