The US State Department has launched a strong campaign against the European Union's new social media regulations, accusing the EU of undermining free speech and engaging in 'Orwellian' censorship.
The criticism centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims is being used to shield politicians from public criticism and silence dissent online. American officials argue that these regulations violate fundamental freedoms and set a dangerous precedent for online expression. The dispute has intensified ahead of key trade talks, highlighting deep transatlantic divisions over how to balance free speech with content moderation.
This clash could have significant implications for global internet governance and US-EU relations.
