The European Union's Digital Services Act has raised alarms in the United States over potential censorship of American voices, including prominent figures like Elon Musk, under the guise of combating disinformation. Critics, including Jim Jordan and the Trump campaign, accuse the EU of attempting to interfere in US politics and call for protective measures like a "Digital Freedom Act" to safeguard free speech. Concurrently, analysts argue that Europe must bolster its defense capabilities independently of the US, anticipating challenges to NATO's cohesion and the possibility of an "America First" policy resurgence if Trump is reelected. These developments underscore growing tensions and the need for strategic autonomy in Europe amidst concerns over external influence on domestic affairs and defense.
