European bureaucrats eager to crack down on free speech seek major leverage over American social media platforms, House Republicans warned on Sunday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) requested answers from EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera over the future enforcement of a law they said unfairly targeted large American tech companies.
In a Feb. 23 letter obtained by MRC Free Speech America, Jordan and Fitzgerald asked to be briefed on the Digital Markets Act (DMA), warning that its enforcement would impose exorbitant fines and regulations on American companies. The lawmakers also noted that the DMA was “proposed alongside” the censorship regime of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
