"Fresh threats of sanctions have just emerged from across the Atlantic, targeting Europe and any official who dares to enforce the Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU's flagship law regulating tech platforms and digital operations. These sanctions come with new trade barriers and unprecedented export restrictions. How long are we, citizens of the EU, going to tolerate these threats? Submit to those who want to impose their rules, their laws, their deadlines on us?"
"Why and in whose name would we agree to cast aside our twin digital regulations, the DSA and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which were voted into law with clarity, courage and conviction by a landslide in the European parliament? (It is worth recalling that MEPs voted for the DMA by 588 votes to 11, with 31 abstentions, and for the DSA by 539 votes to 54, with 30 abstentions.) An ever-widening gulf of misunderstanding is opening up between Europe and the United States"
Fresh threats of sanctions from across the Atlantic target Europe and officials enforcing the Digital Services Act, accompanied by trade barriers and export restrictions. The text rejects yielding to external pressures or surrendering democratic and moral principles, including rules protecting children online. The DSA and Digital Markets Act were adopted decisively by the European Parliament with large vote margins. An ever-widening gulf of misunderstanding between Europe and the United States is being exploited by major American tech platforms. Regulating the information space is presented as essential to prevent private commercial logic from overriding the common good and to assert state sovereignty over the digital domain.
