Trump admin slap of European censorship, muffled technological innovation

The Trump administration was on a one -month campaign campaign against what it says to be draconian censorship regulations in Europe which not only stifled freedom of expression, but was also another obstacle in the midst of the evolution of artificial intelligence.

“In Europe, thousands of people are sentenced to crime to criticize their own governments”, ” The State Department recently posted on XAccompanied by a Graphic Slamming Europe’s Digital Services Act (DSA). “This orwellian message will not deceive the United States. Censorship is not freedom.”

The EU adopted the DSA in 2022 to regulate online platforms such as social networks, content sharing platforms and application stores, and aims to “prevent illegal and harmful online activities and the spread of disinformation”. The law has since faced the opposition of the Trump administration in the midst of its promotion of freedom of expression on the world scene.

The X Post of the State Department follows a one -month campaign of Trump officials castigating Europe for its strict rules which limit freedom of expression – especially online and in the world of AI and evolution technology.

Fox News Digital spoke with Darren Beattie, acting under the under security of State for public diplomacy and public affairs, which explained that, while the Trump administration takes an ax of Piche to restrictions and censorship – especially online and left from the Biden era – Europe has evolved to intensify its censorship with laws such as DSA.

“While we have the censorship industry back to the United States by actions like what the State Department has done, what we have done in the State Department which killed the (Global Committee Center), but this happens throughout the administration,” he said. “What is happening is Europe, the European Union and the United Kingdom that move to take over. That is to say, as we reject the regime of censorship at the national level, this is intensifying in Europe.”

The Global Committee Center was an office established within the State Department during the Obama era which was plagued by accusations of censorship while positioning itself as focused on the fight against foreign propaganda and disinformation. The Trump Department of State closed the office earlier in 2025.

Beattie added that the United States does not take an approach “more holy than you” of the question, noting that censorship was heard through the United States under the Biden administration. He underlined cases such as the social media user, Douglass Mackey, who was sentenced in 2023 for conspiracy to remove the participation rate in 2016 after publishing false voting messages.

“We were, under Biden, moved to this direction in a very dangerous way,” he said. “The government’s armament that occurred under Biden was serious.”

President Donald Trump delivered his highly anticipated speech at the end of July, revealing the action plan of his administration, which included the protection of AI systems against biases. The Director of Science and Technological Policy of the White House, Michael Kratsios, presented an overview of the media plan, which included the warning that the United States will not follow the same technological path as Europe, citing its strict technology regulations.

“The action plan calls to release American innovation from AI from unnecessary bureaucratic administrative formalities, ensuring that all Americans take advantage of AI technologies’ benefits and taking advantage of AI to generate new scientific breakthroughs,” he said.

“During deregulation, we cannot afford to travel the regulatory path of Europe, federal agencies.

The AI plan is focused on three pillars, one of which is centered on the guarantee that the bias is not included in American systems.

“The second is that we believe that AI systems should be free from ideological biases and not be designed to continue socially modified agendas,” IA and crypto-tsar David Sacks said on July 23.

vice-president Jd vance was at the forefront of the heads of administration who were tied up with Europe’s restrictions on AI and freedom of expression, including the EU digital services law.

“American innovators of all sizes already know what it is to deal with expensive international rules,” said Vance at the summit of artificial intelligence action in Paris in February. “Many of our most productive technological societies are forced to deal with the EU digital services law and the massive regulations it has created to eliminate content and the police from so-called disinformation.”

Vance went to the Munich Security Conference a few days after his Paris speech and delivered another ardent discourse puncturing Europe for having used Soviet style tactics that cool freedom of expression.

“For many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like ancient and rooted interests hiding behind ugly words from the Soviet era like the disinformation ” and the disinformation ”, simply because they do not like someone with an alternative point of view could express a different opinion, or even worse. he said in the address.

The speech sparked criticism in Europe and the United States, including the host of CBS Margaret Brennan suggesting during an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on “Face The Nation” in February that freedom of expression had been “armed” to provoke the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.

Rubio launched a fierce defense of Vance while noting its concern that Europe has the same values as the United States, such as the protection of freedom of expression and democracy.

“Why are our allies or someone irritated by freedom of expression and someone who gives his opinion? We are, after all, democracies,” said Rubio. “The Munich Security Conference is largely a conference of democracies in which one of the things we cherish and assess is the ability to speak freely and to provide your opinions. And therefore, I think that if someone is angry with their words, they do not have to agree with it, but to be angry about it, I actually think.”

“I think that the valid points it raises in Europe is: we fear that the true values that we share, the values that bind us with Europe, are things like freedom of expression and democracy and our common history by winning two world wars,” added Rubio of Vance’s discourse.

Head of the Federal Communication Commission Brendan Carr In March, surveillance of online content by the DSA was incompatible with American freedom of expression.

“There is a risk that the regulatory regime (EU) imposes excessive rules with regard to freedom of expression,” he told Barcelona in March. “The censorship which is potentially descending of the pipe of the digital services) is something which is incompatible with … our tradition of freedom of expression.”

The White House exposed at the end of July that among its main efforts while unleashing artificial intelligence – which, according to her, will inaugurate the next “industrial revolution” – would focus on preserving freedom of expression while encouraging technological innovation through regulatory cuts.

The White House said that it would update its “federal guidelines on supply to ensure that the government contracts only with developers of large border language models who ensure that their systems are objective and exempt from ideological biases from top to bottom”, as well as to remove “expensive federal regulations that hinder the development and deployment of the private sector and to delete “.

Trump has signed a trio of decrees aimed at implementing his AI program, including the one who prohibits the federal government from obtaining artificial intelligence built with “awake” ideology.

“I will sign an order prohibiting the federal government from obtaining AI technology which has been imbued with partisans or ideological agendas, such as the critical theory of race, which is ridiculous. And from now on, the American government will only deal with AI which pursues the truth, justice and strict impartiality”, he said.

“We are not going to go through the madness that we have experienced for four years. … Now, it does not hang out at all now. It is actually very cool, like someone told me the other day, it’s so little cool to be awake.” He added.

Fox News Digital has contacted the EU press team to comment on the Trump administration’s administration against European censorship, but did not immediately receive an answer.
