The US State Department has launched a strong campaign against the European Union's new social media regulations, accusing them of 'Orwellian' censorship and violations of free 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 suppress 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 online freedoms. The Trump administration has been particularly vocal, framing the EU's actions as a threat to democratic values.
The clash highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance online safety with freedom of expression.
