A major transatlantic dispute is erupting as the US government and lawmakers accuse the European Union of imposing 'Orwellian' censorship through its Digital Services Act (DSA). US officials, including the State Department and House Republicans, argue that the DSA restricts free speech and unfairly targets American tech companies and political voices. Congressional delegations, led by figures like Jim Jordan, are challenging the EU's digital regulations in Brussels and warning that US tech firms may leave the European market if the rules remain unchanged. The EU defends the DSA as necessary for regulating online platforms, but critics say it shields European politicians from criticism and stifles dissent. This escalating clash could impact digital trade, transatlantic relations, and the future of online speech worldwide.
