U.S. banned visas of five Europeans, including Thierry Breton, over alleged pressure to censor speech, sparking EU backlash over digital sovereignty.
The U.S. imposed visa bans on five European individuals, including former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, over alleged efforts to pressure American tech companies to censor speech, citing concerns about foreign influence on digital platforms.
The EU, France, Germany, and others strongly condemned the move, calling it an act of intimidation that undermines European regulatory sovereignty, particularly regarding the EU’s Digital Services Act, which they say ensures online safety and fair competition without targeting any country.
European leaders emphasized the democratic, proportionate nature of their digital rules and warned the action could damage transatlantic cooperation.
The EU has requested clarification and signaled it may respond decisively to protect its digital autonomy.
