Trump and EU Commission set course for confrontation on big tech
Briefly

At the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed concerns over the EU's Digital Services Act, suggesting it limits free speech and access to online platforms. EU Commissioner Ribera responded by urging clarification on Vance's claims, deeming them nonsensical. Federal Minister Volker Wissing defended European values, asserting that external pressures would not dictate EU regulations. He stressed the importance of upholding the Digital Services Act and highlighted that freedom of expression should not extend to the propagation of hatred or misinformation, emphasizing the need for clarity in defining these boundaries.
If there is a problem, a point of concern, please explain that. That doesn't make sense.
Anyone who believes that European rules can be dictated from outside is very much mistaken.
The EU Commission must consistently enforce the Digital Services Act (DSA) - without compromises and without deals.
Anyone who confuses freedom of expression with the freedom to spread hate and disinformation is misjudging the foundations of our values.
