L’Europa critica il divieto di visto dopo che gli Stati Uniti hanno preso una nuova decisione contro gli alleati sulla “censura”

Honestly feels like mutual visa bans just punish regular people more than governments. One small step could be more EU, US public hearings on digital rights so this isn’t just diplomats yelling at each other.

Ronald Reagan frequently used the phrase “shining city upon a hill” to describe America as a beacon of freedom, hope, and opportunity.

At this moment the US actively trying to oppose these same concepts. What sad times.

Trump:

> The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States.

As if Breton not being able to visit the USA was some sort of horrific punishment lol.

The whole argument of the DSA was that the EU was perfectly within its rights to regulate foreigners. This is just the US doing the same w/r/t visas.

I’m more surprised he hasn’t been sanctioned, which could ruin his life, because of how personal Thierry has made these fights.

I don’t take a position, but I have some friends in DC who analogize the EU internet regulation to Hamas building bases under hospitals lol. The disinformation stuff is just a fig leaf for going after American companies, and they didn’t do any favors by hitting tech CEO’s *personally* with fines for businesses.

But will the EU respond in kind?

Of course not.
