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 shields European politicians from public criticism and convicts citizens for online dissent. This dispute comes as US and European officials prepare for key trade talks, raising tensions between the allies. The US warns that Europe's approach could set a dangerous precedent for online speech globally.
The EU, meanwhile, defends its regulations as necessary for public safety and combating harmful content.
