Brussels rebukes US over claims of EU censorship

The European Commission has dismissed US accusations that its digital laws amount to censorship, calling the claims ‘nonsense’ and ‘completely unfounded.’ In response to a planned US congressional hearing criticising the EU’s Digital Services Act, Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier defended the law, highlighting that it has helped EU users overturn millions of unjustified content removals on platforms like Meta and TikTok. He stressed that the DSA strengthens - not restricts - freedom of expression online.
