err.ee (Italian)

The US has imposed visa bans on five Europeans involved in creating the EU's Digital Services Act, which the US claims censors American tech platforms. The bans target former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton and four individuals combating disinformation. US officials state the measure combats extraterritorial censorship of Americans. The EU's Digital Services Act, enacted in 2022, requires platforms to address illegal content and disinformation, a move European leaders defend as necessary for online safety.
