FCC chair says U.S. will defend interests of its tech giants as European rules stoke tension

Brendan Carr, the new chair of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, defended U.S. Tech companies against the EU's Digital Services Act, calling it excessive and incompatible with American values.
Carr stated that the Trump administration would intervene if European regulations unfairly targeted U.S. Technology firms, emphasizing a commitment to protect American businesses.
A European Commission spokesperson, Thomas Regnier, rejected Carr's censorship claims against the Digital Services Act, calling them unfounded.
The EU opened an inquiry into X for its alleged inadequate efforts against disinformation and hate speech, which Carr argues contradicts free speech traditions in the U.S.
