The 4 individuals, along with a former senior European Commission official, #ThierryBreton of France, were barred from entering the #UnitedStates after Secretary of State #MarcoRubio labeled them “radical activists” who undercut “free speech”.

In 2022, the EU passed a #law called the #DigitalServicesAct that requires #socialmedia companies to meet transparency standards & to remove certain #racist, #antisemitic & #violent content if it violates national laws.

The #Trump admin sees the Digital Services Act as an attempt to force #US platforms to censor speech globally — an allegation European officials deny.
