US Bans Former EU Commissioner and Four Others Over Alleged Censorship
The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
President Trump has been clear that his America First policy rejects violations of American sovereignty. That includes extraterritorial overreach by foreign governments that try to censor Americans and their constitutionally protected free speech. The list of those banned from traveling to the U.S. will only expand if the countries attempting these measures do not reverse course of their policies.
Pro-Europe narrative
The Trump administration is continuing its attacks on EU rules and regulations, particularly for their crucial laws that help prevent hate speech, misinformation and disinformation. The organizations they are targeting simply make the internet safer and help advertisers make better informed decisions on where to invest their dollars. It's un-American for the Trump administration to oppose this.
