US Slams Europe's Digital Services Act, Restricts Visas Over Censorship Concerns
2025-05-28
The US State Department has launched a fresh attack on Europe and other countries' attempts to regulate digital platforms. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa restrictions for foreign nationals involved in censoring protected speech within the US. This move is widely seen as a response to Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA), aimed at improving online safety. The US argues the DSA could be used to silence dissent and infringes on US sovereignty and free speech. The policy's enforcement remains unclear.
