The Digital Services Act is a direct assault on free speech and the US State Department wants it repealed. Washington is taking aim at Europe’s internet censorship regulation, with the Trump administration launching a coordinated diplomatic push against the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). US officials argue the law places unreasonable burdens on American technology firms and chips away at the foundations of free expression. A classified State Department cable obtained by Reuters reveals that embassies across Europe have been instructed to lobby aggressively against the DSA. Signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and dated August 4, the cable accuses Brussels of exploiting concerns about “misinformation” and “hate speech” to justify what it describes as excessive restrictions on speech.
