The US State Department has sharply criticized European governments for their increasing regulation of social media and online platforms, claiming these measures threaten free speech. American officials argue that Europe's approach amounts to censorship and warn that such policies could set a dangerous precedent for other democracies, including the United States. The debate intensified after recent violent incidents in Europe led to tighter controls on online content. Critics in the US describe Europe's actions as 'Orwellian' and caution against similar restrictions at home. The controversy highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance public safety with freedom of expression in the digital age.
