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 freedom of speech.
The criticism centers on the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims shields European politicians from public criticism and leads to convictions for online dissent. This dispute comes as US and European officials prepare for critical trade talks, raising tensions between the allies. The US warns that Europe's approach could set a dangerous precedent for free speech globally.
The EU, meanwhile, defends its regulations as necessary for combating harmful content online.
