The US State Department has sharply criticized European governments for their increasing regulation of social media and online platforms, claiming these measures threaten free speech. American officials argue that Europe's approach amounts to censorship and warn that such policies could set a dangerous precedent for other democracies, including the United States. The debate intensified following recent violent incidents in Europe, which have prompted calls for tighter online controls.

The controversy highlights growing transatlantic tensions over how to balance safety and freedom in the digital age.
