The US State Department has launched a strong campaign against the European Union's new regulations on online speech, particularly criticizing the EU's Digital Services Act.
US officials accuse Europe of engaging in 'Orwellian' censorship by restricting free speech on social media and shielding politicians from public criticism. The Trump administration claims that these regulations violate fundamental freedoms and could set a dangerous precedent for other democracies. The dispute has escalated as both sides prepare for upcoming trade talks, with the US warning that Europe's approach could erode free speech globally.
The controversy highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance online safety with freedom of expression.
