The US State Department has launched a high-profile campaign criticizing the European Union's new Digital Services Act, labeling it as 'Orwellian censorship.' American officials argue that the EU's regulations on social media platforms amount to violations of free speech and shield politicians from public criticism.
The dispute has escalated as both sides prepare for key trade talks, with the US warning that Europe's approach could set a dangerous precedent. European officials, meanwhile, defend the law as necessary to combat online harms and misinformation.
The clash highlights deep transatlantic divisions over how to balance free expression with digital regulation.
