Regulating digital platforms to protect citizens, democratic debate and the rule of law is not censorship. It is responsibility.
European law applies in Europe — nothing more, nothing less. Any platform operating on the European market must comply with European rules, just as European companies must comply with U.S. law when operating in the United States. This is a basic principle of sovereignty. Framing this as an attack on free speech is deceitful.
European digital regulation applies equally to all platforms, regardless of their country of origin. Presenting this as a U.S.-specific issue is simply false. Europe regulates conduct on its own territory; it does not single out one country.
