European Union Might Respond to ‘Unjustified’ US Travel Restrictions, Spokesperson Says
The EU could “respond swiftly and decisively” in response to what it deems “unjustified” visa bans issued by the US against five European individuals involved in fighting digital hatred and misinformation, a European Commission spokesperson has said.
EU Officials Condemn US Action as ‘Intimidation’
Officials from Europe such as Emmanuel Macron charged Washington of “bullying and threats”, following the travel bans were placed on figures who have been central to campaigns to introduce laws regulating American tech companies.
“For far too long, European activists have spearheaded coordinated campaigns to pressure American platforms to punish US perspectives they oppose,” wrote the US secretary of state online. “This government will not stand for these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.”
Widespread Condemnation From EU Nations
Germany, Spain, the UK and a chorus of EU officials joined the French president in criticizing the decision.
The restrictions were imposed this week on an ex-European commissioner who helped draft the EU’s digital governance law, along with four activists fighting false information, from Germany and the United Kingdom.
A Deepening Dispute Over Regulation
This European legislation is viewed by US officials as a type of speech restriction, whereas EU authorities contend the regulations are essential to control hate speech and falsehoods.
This row threatens to become a facet of a far wider existing cultural and political conflict between Washington and European institutions.
