The new FCC chairman has voiced concerns about the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) and its potential to clash with American values of free speech. He warned that the DSA could impose restrictions that limit open dialogue and free expression, contrasting it with President Trump's administration's push for reduced censorship by technology firms. Additionally, he highlighted substantial fines imposed on Meta by the EU, totaling over $1 billion for various violations, underscoring the broader regulatory challenges faced by American tech companies in Europe.
There is some concern that I have with respect to the approach that Europe has taken with the DSA in particular. There's a risk that that regulatory regime imposes excessive rules with respect to free speech.
From President Trump to me, across the government, we are encouraging our technology companies to stop the censorship we saw the last couple of years.
Over the last year alone, Meta has been fined over $1 billion in Europe for various violations, including an $841 million fine for breaches of EU antitrust rules.
The new chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publicly criticized the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), which he says is 'incompatible with America's free speech tradition.'
