What's behind the Trump admin's claim that the EU Digital Services Act 'censors' free speech

from TODAY'S TAKE · host Kraznys

the Trump administration escalated its opposition to the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), claiming it facilitates "extraterritorial censorship" of American viewpoints and unfairly targets U.S. tech companies.  U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, argue the DSA forces American platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Meta to apply strict EU content standards globally. They claim this compels platforms to censor speech protected by the First Amendment—such as political humor or dissent—to avoid massive fines.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-s-take--6662936/support.
