European backlash grows to US visa restrictions on DSA enforcers

AI द्वारा उत्पन्न छवि
हिंदी

French President Emmanuel Macron and EU figures denounced the US visa restrictions imposed on December 23, 2025, against former Commissioner Thierry Breton and four NGO leaders over Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcement, calling them an assault on European digital sovereignty. New details emerge on preceding X fine and US celebrations, part of ongoing series coverage.

The Trump administration's visa restrictions on ex-EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton—key DSA architect—and four NGO activists (Imran Ahmed of UK's Center for Countering Digital Hate, Clare Melford of Global Disinformation Index, and Germany's HateAid leaders Anna-Lena von Hodenberg and Josephine Ballon) follow a 120 million euro DSA fine on X in early December for illicit content failures (see prior article in series for announcement details).

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio decried 'extraterritorial censorship,' with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hailing it on X as affirming US free speech supremacy.

European unity prevailed in condemnation: Macron tweeted rejection of the 'intimidation and coercion against European digital sovereignty,' stressing DSA's democratic legitimacy and non-targeting of third countries. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot affirmed Europe's sovereign digital rulemaking. MEP Nathalie Loiseau proposed barring RFK Jr. from Europe over health misinformation. Ex-ambassadors Michel Duclos and Gérard Araud called for retaliatory visas or financial measures.

These rare allied sanctions underscore deepening US-EU rifts on tech regulation, with US threats of list expansion.

लोग क्या कह रहे हैं

Reactions on X to US visa restrictions on Thierry Breton and four others over DSA enforcement divide sharply: European officials like Macron and the EU Commission condemn the bans as intimidation undermining digital sovereignty and regulatory autonomy. Pro-free speech accounts celebrate it as justified pushback against EU 'censorship' of US platforms, especially targeting Elon Musk. Skeptics highlight EU hypocrisy in sanctioning its own citizens while decrying US actions. High-engagement posts reflect transatlantic clash on tech regulation versus free speech.
