On the same day EU lawmakers pushed for tighter controls on platforms like Meta and X, the European Commission denied Zuckerberg's claims of censorship. But let’s be real — the Digital Services Act (DSA) is censorship with extra steps. It pressures platforms to police "harmful" content, a slippery slope that chills free speech.
Zuckerberg’s critique isn’t baseless. Europe’s regulatory web makes innovation harder and forces platforms to over-moderate to dodge penalties. The EU says it’s about “effectiveness,” but that’s just a softer word for compliance.
Meanwhile, Meta is ditching fact-checking in the US for a user-driven “community notes” model — something the EU would likely smother under red tape. Europe's digital space is becoming less about freedom and more about control.
