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 to suppress dissent online. This dispute comes as trade talks between the US and Europe near their conclusion, raising tensions over differing approaches to online content regulation.

The EU, meanwhile, defends its laws as necessary for combating harmful content and protecting users.
