US Bans Europeans for Censorship, Escalating Tech Tensions
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
The United States imposed visa bans on five European officials, accusing them of censoring online speech and imposing tough regulations on American tech companies. The move targets high-profile figures like Thierry Breton, a driving force behind Europes digital services act aimed at curbing hate speech and disinformation. This escalation comes amid worsening transatlantic ties under President Donald Trump, with US officials viewing Europes rules as unfair attacks on free expression. European leaders reacted with outrage, vowing to defend Europes independence. The other targets include Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford, who are fighting digital hate and disinformation. With rifts deepening over technology, defense, and values, both sides are digging in, hinting at more friction in the months ahead.
