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 free speech rights.
The controversy centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims is being used to shield European politicians from criticism and punish citizens for online dissent.

The clash highlights deep transatlantic differences over how to balance free expression with regulation of digital platforms.
