European Union Might Retaliate to ‘Unjustified’ US Visa Bans, Spokesperson States
The EU could “respond swiftly and decisively” in response to what it deems “unwarranted” visa bans imposed by the US against five Europeans working on combating digital hatred and misinformation, a European Commission spokesperson has said.
European Leaders Condemn US Move as ‘Coercion’
Officials from Europe including the French president accused the US administration of “bullying and threats”, following the visa restrictions targeted figures who have been central to campaigns to introduce laws regulating US-based technology firms.
“For far too long, European activists have spearheaded coordinated campaigns to pressure US companies to punish American viewpoints they oppose,” wrote the US secretary of state in a social media post. “The current administration will not stand for these egregious acts of censorship beyond its borders.”
Broad Criticism Across Europe
Nations including Germany, Spain, and the UK, alongside numerous EU representatives supported France in criticizing the move.
The bans were imposed this week on an ex-European commissioner involved in crafting the bloc’s digital governance law, along with four activists fighting false information, including Germany and the United Kingdom.
An Escalating Conflict Over Regulation
The DSA is seen by US officials as a type of speech restriction, whereas European leaders contend the rules are necessary to combat hate speech and disinformation.
This row risks becoming part of a much broader ongoing cultural and political conflict involving the current US administration and European institutions.
